Default blackwall tunnel - is it open tomorrow night?

I know they are doing works but does anyone know what tunnel or what time?

and will they open the other tunnel with 1 lane going each way?

I need to pick someone up from the southside at about 11pm and bring them back to the north.

cowboi they never totally close it, its either trffic both ways or relay traffic


eitherway its a bitch, best to leave early to pick up your nan mate


i come back from kidbrook lastnight at 1230ish and they closed the southbound side and was getting ready to relay


what i wanna know is WHY DO THEY NEED TO KEEP WORKING ON THAT FUCKING TUNNEL EVERY FUCKING NIGHT


another alternative is m25 and then a2 mate, takes a little longer but if they close the tunnel its quicker by a mile

It is closed for this and next weekend (friday and sat from 9pm) diversions through dartford toll or limehouse tunnel, no contraflow thats for sure according to all the signs posted up.

I go through it everyday, depending on how close to the city south of the river your going best bet go through limehouse or one of the bridges (no CC charge late at night) if your going around 11pm traffic will still be heavy but moving opposed to 9-10pm then just sit there.

Hope that helps,

CJ
