The Dartford–Thurrock River Crossing, commonly known as the Dartford Crossing and until 1991 the Dartford Tunnel, is a major road crossing of the River Thames in England, carrying the A282 road between Dartford in Kent in the south and Thurrock in Essex in the north.
First proposed in the late 2000s, the crossing is designed to relieve the pressure on the existing A282 Dartford Crossing.
