- Extra £174m earmarked for ‘spiralling’ bill for Lower Thames Crossing
Ministers have allocated an additional £174m for the Lower Thames Crossing road tunnel, pushing the public funding to £3.1bn ahead of a planned £7.5bn private sector injection. The project, estimated to cost more per mile than HS2, is raising concerns over its 'spiralling' costs as part of an £11bn infrastructure plan.
