The Lower Thames Crossing will connect Kent and Essex with a new road and tunnel under the Thames. But it’s more than just a road — it’s an opportunity to open up long-term careers for local people. There’s a national shortage of skilled construction workers needed to build the pipeline of planned projects across the UK. The Lower Thames Crossing will hire at least 45% of our workforce from within 20 miles of the route. We’re supporting local people to gain the skills for upcoming roles on this project and other regional developments.
