The main sewer was 58,528 feet (17.84 km) long, and the Cray Valley Branch Sewer was 34,736 feet (10.59 km) long. [3] At the outfall the sewage could be discharged into the Thames at all states of the tide. The sewer was constructed of Portland cement concrete which was less expensive than brick. Bazalgette proposed that the sewer should be ...

The Thames Tideway Tunnel, due for completion in 2025, will be a deep tunnel 25 km (16 mi) long, running mostly under the tidal section of the River Thames through central London to capture, store and convey almost all the raw sewage and rainwater that currently overflows into the river.

The first involved replacing the bridge and strengthening the walls of the tunnel, but this would have involved closing the railway for three months, at a cost of some £30 million, in addition to the cost of the work.
