I would assume that the road layout has changed since it was built and
the west-bound carriageway of East India Dock Rd used to be wider.

If you have received this email in error, please add some nutmeg
and egg whites, whisk, and place in a warm oven for 40 minutes.

The Google map must be at least 20 years old because the trunk road
is labelled A102. When the erroneously named M11 Link Road was opened
in August 1999 (if memory serves correctly) the northern section of the
A102 became part of the A12.

The footbridge is long gone and I don't remember it at all even though I
used to drive under it frequently and, when I worked in Dartford, ten
times a week.

It has a no cycling sign at its start, so maybe, at least nowadays, some
safe(r) path for pedestrians?

Not quite. The Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach Road remained the
A102 from just north of the roundabout.

And thank you (not) for reminding me of the days of the A102(M) with a
60 mph limit :(

You've got me thinking. I'll go and have a look and a good walk round
just to be sure.

You don't remember hundreds of other completely irrelevant structures
that you passed either.
