Dartford crossing 11:46 - Jul 29 with 1335 viewsabracaDOBRA_

Had a look at my journey for tomo, gone up and hour and a load of traffic by crossing. Clicked on the road works and said tunnel closed until 13th august?

Anyone who’s driven there lately, is this true? Can’t see anything about that apart from my Apple maps saying so.

The tunnel isn't closed. I'm using it later. Did you check yesterday in real time? There was a big crash.

Wouldn’t take no notice of Apple maps when it’s comes to times/dates of roadworks finishing, it says roadworks but could just be traffic or and accident.

On mine it says ending today at 12:10

Some overnight tunnel closures but as most are aware, there are 2x tunnels.

Thanks both. It said one tunnel was close so traffic being filtered through one.

As sitters said, seems Apple maps is crap.

Must just be some traffic

I can remember when it was single tunnel with traffic going both ways!

In 1970 I joined the Finance Dept of Essex County Council. One of my tasks was to calculate the revenue costs of Capital Projects. The new Dartford Tunnel was a joint project with Kent County Council with the objective that once all costs had been repaid by charges then use would be free.

That worked well didn't!

I know - how much is it these days though, quite cheap I think.

I went through the M6 Toll on Monday and Tuesday and I think it cost me £12.90 each time

Were you based in Epping?

No, I was based at County Hall and was there for 13 years unfortunately.

Because my elder son now lives in Bexleyheath I have an account and it costs me roughly £5 a return trip.

We are opening a place in Cannock and It's gonna cost me over £25 every day I go up there.

I could of course take an extra 15 minutes on original M6 and avoid the toll but I hate that congested bit around Birmingham - it's pretty dangerous to be honest, the lorries box you in all the time.

It’s a taste of the future. All major roads will become toll roads as a penance for using inefficient, impractical electric cars.
