A planning application the height of 5 double decker buses. £300 million has been spent on 359,000 pages of planning application for the Lower Thames Crossing. Yet it could be scrapped as part of measures to plug the £22 billion "black hole" in government funding. Cancellation of such a major infrastructure project has knock-on effects across the construction industry as major players spread risk across their supply chain. But with the project already costing more "than it cost Norway to not only build the world’s longest road tunnel (the Laerdal tunnel), but also the world’s deepest subsea road tunnel", the Lower Thames Crossing could be a bridge too far. #construction #infrastructure #projectmanagement #constructioncontracts #supplychain
