Riverlinx is proud to be working in partnership with TfL to deliver ground-breaking work to connect the Greenwich peninsula and Silvertown.

 

Riverlinx is designing and building a new 1.4km twin-lane tunnel, under the river Thames, which will be completed in Spring 2025, linking North Greenwich and Silvertown for the first time.  

Riverlinx is committed to delivering world-class infrastructure for London, on time and on budget, in collaboration with TfL, our client, and our supply chain partners. We use digital design and sustainable, modern construction methods. 

While delivering the Silvertown tunnel we pay close attention to the needs of local communities where our sites are based, offering opportunities to get involved and connect with our team.
