Thank you for your request received on 24 November 2021 asking for information about projections made in the Silvertown Tunnel Environment Statement (2016).
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. You asked:

The projections have not been updated since 2016, therefore we do not hold the further information requested. Updates are planned, however, and we have committed to undertaking a refreshed assessment before the tunnel opens. Further information is available on our website at https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/silvertown-tunnel-implementation-group
