Transport for London works planned for 2025 and how you will be impacted

Transport for London (TfL) has several works planned in 2025 in order to upgrade travel across London. Among Tfl’s projects are the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel, upgrades to the Piccadilly line, and new bus lanes. Cutty Sark DLR station, a key commuter station for Greenwich residents, is also set to close for about six months to replace escalators, which has suffered problems for at least three years. A start date for the works is yet to be announced.

A40 Westway, A41 Brent Cross Flyover work and Lambeth Bridge are also looking at a couple of closures throughout the year. Here are the potential alterations to your journeys in the months ahead. The Silvetown Tunnel, scheduled to open on April 7, 2025, will link Silvertown in east London to the Greenwich Peninsula. It will help reduce congestion at Blackwall Tunnel, help make peak time journeys faster and provide an alternative crossing when Blackwall Tunnel is closed for essential maintenance and repairs.

It will be supported by a new cross-river bus network and cycle shuttle service. TfL is creating 25 kilometres of new bus lanes, with a target set for March 2025. Working with London boroughs, the goal is to make bus journeys 10 per cent faster than in 2015. For the first few months of 2025, A41 Brent Cross Flyover work will restrict the weight of vehicles in north west London, and A40 Westway work will affect driving in west London, while work is underway in both these areas.

The roundabouts at both ends of Lambeth Bridge are being replaced with traffic lights. This is to improve safety in the area, particularly for people cycling. A series of closures will affect driving, cycling, and buses on the bridge up until December. TfL is servicing different parts of the Piccadilly line at different stages to get it ready for the new trains, which are set to run along it. The dates of full closures are listed below.
