Limehouse Link tunnel
The Limehouse Link tunnel is a 1.1 mile long tunnel in the Limehouse area of east London on the A1203 road which links the northern approach of Tower Bridge with a point just north of Canary Wharf in London Docklands. Built between 1989 and 1993 at a cost of £293 million it is currently (as of June 2011) the most expensive road scheme in Britain per mile, working out at £50,500 per foot at 2011 prices.〔 It is the second largest non-estuarial road tunnel in the UK, after the Hindhead Tunnel in Surrey.
==History==
During the early 1980s, it was clear that the existing road infrastructure serving the Isle of Dogs development zone had no spare capacity, and the Limehouse Link formed the western part of improvements proposed by the London Docklands Development Corporation.〔 Planning started in 1986, the designers were the Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lddc-history.org.uk/pressreleases/llnk/PR151092.pdf )〕 The design of the tunnel approaches and portal buildings was carried out by Anthony Meats and Rooney O'Carroll Architects as part of an overall consultancy on the LDDC highway infrastructure programme. Construction began in November 1989 and the tunnel project was officially opened in May 1993. At the time it was the second biggest engineering project in Europe after the Channel Tunnel.〔
