The Blackwall Tunnel, a vital transport artery in London, is set to undergo closures to southbound traffic on certain weekends in March and April. These closures are part of the ongoing efforts to facilitate carriageway works on the northbound Blackwall Tunnel approach, necessary for the implementation of the road configuration for the new Silvertown Tunnel, scheduled to open in 2025.
