A road tunnel costing €1 billion and a €111 million cycle and pedestrian bridge are among three infrastructure projects given the go-ahead by London’s mayor.
The Silvertown Tunnel and the cycle and pedestrian bridge will link the Canary Wharf area north of the River Thames with Rotherhithe on the south bank.
London mayor Sadiq Khan also approved an extension to the Docklands Light Railway that would run to Gallions Reach on the south bank of the Thames.
Cowi has won a contract as owner's engineer for an eight-lane replacement immersed tunnel under the Fraser River near the Pacific coast city of Vancouver. Cowi said it will draw on its experience designing the original four-lane George Massey Tunnel in 1959 and whose removal the engineering firm will later oversee.
