Just west of Blackfriars Bridge, some boats with cranes on them seem to

that this is approximately over the Waterloo & City Line, so does anyone
know what's happening?

I suggest The Drain will be involved only if something goes very, very
wrong

My guess is that it is part of the work for the new foreshore West of
Blackfriars Bridge planned as part of the Thames Tideway Tunnel. See eg

So even more of the river is concreted over. I wonder who thought this was
a good idea and approved it?
