Thames Tideway Tunnel

Does anyone know how long it’s going to take before the incessant roar all day and night finally gets to Acton pumping station?

Their website is an expensive waste of time if you are after basic information about their plan and the progress against plan.If you like pretty videos of smiling young engineers by all means have a look.https://tideway.london/the-tunnel

Yup - I just wasted 20 minutes trying to find some simple up to date summary of where we are now and a timescale for progress. My Googling did reveal however that they are nine months and another 200-odd million quid behind schedule.

Yes, that’s what I found too. COVID holdups etc. There’s a map showing where it’s going through Chiswick. Through Bath Road and alongside the Avenue to Acton.Apparently it took 2 years for it get round Fulham and it was a continuous nightmare for those who were living by the river.
