The Lower Thames Crossing will be a bored tunnel under the River Thames east of Gravesend and Tilbury.
The new crossing will ease congestion on the Dartford Crossing which handles around 55 million journeys every year - six million more than it was designed for – and suffers frequent closures.
The crossing will also provide more than 70% additional road capacity across the river, unlock major investments and the creation of new jobs.
