The New Tyne Crossing is the project to design and build a second vehicle tunnel under the River Tyne, refurbish the existing vehicle tunnel and to operate and to maintain all the tunnels under the river until 2037. It is one of the biggest transport infrastructure projects currently active in Great Britain.
Work to prepare the site began in February 2008 and construction of the new tunnel began in October 2008. Work on the second vehicle tunnel is due for completion in February 2011, at which point the existing tunnel will close for extensive refurbishment. The construction phase of the project is expected to be completed in December 2011 when both vehicle tunnels are open to traffic.
