The last iteration of the plan decided a tunnel was the preferred
option, due to the height of the bridge required by shipping
regulations.


Bugger! I hadn't realised Barking Creek was in use by any ships. No chance
of a bike tunnel too, i suppose!

Thanks also to Mr Scott for pointing this out to me.
