High-voltage cables relocated for Silvertown Tunnel

UK Power Networks has completed work to move high-voltage underground cables to make way for the Silvertown Tunnel.
The tunnel that passes beneath the River Thames connects Silvertown and the Greenwich Peninsula, easing congestion from the nearby Blackwall Tunnel, improving air quality and allowing better cross-river public transport.
UK Power Networks worked on two cable diversion projects with Riverlinx CJV on the north and south sides of the river to facilitate the construction of the tunnel.
