Default blackwall tunnel morning lane closures

Does anyone have the specific times when they close a lane for the

Not sure whether they do it as they see fit, up to know, it's been
consistent, one lane closing at 7:50am until around 8:50am (weekdays
only), but today, it seems to have been earlier.

I wish they had built a 4 lane tunnel, an absolute pain, I feel sorry
for the folk making their way northbound, those queus are even longer!


I suppose that the bridge planned a bit further down stream is meant to
relieve the congestion. Don't hold your breath though.

For all the criticism of the route of the Jubilee Line extension it
definitely does provide three very useful river crossing points in that
part of east London, with important bus interchanges at three of the
stations (Canada Water, North Greenwich and Canning Town) helping to
facilitate such cross-river journeys.

Not much help if you need to take a vehicle to the other side of the
Thames during the congested morning rush of course!
