    Riverlinx CJV declares the construction works for connecting open cut approaches and the tunnelling section of the Silvertown Tunnel.

    Riverlinx CJV, a construction joint venture of Ferrovial Construction, BAM Nuttall and SK ecoplant working on behalf of Transport for London, celebrated the news after the final transition section of the tunnel was cast in Silvertown on 11 April 2024. This completes the work to connect both Northbound and Southbound tunnel structures from the Silvertown portal to the Greenwich portal. A complete transformation of the tunnel shape was needed to connect the circular TBM-constructed tunnel to the in situ concrete arch shaped Cut & Cover tunnels.
