Norwich to Tilbury
Our proposals in Thurrock
The overhead line alignment would continue south, passing Bulphan to the west and Horndon on the Hill to the east. The overhead line alignment would then head east, then south, crossing the A13 to the north-east of Southfields, before heading south, to the west of Linford.
From here, the overhead line would transition to underground cable at a cable sealing end compound, proposed to be sited to the north of the Lower Thames Crossing proposals. The underground cable alignment would then run south into Tilbury substation.
Works would be required at Tilbury substation to connect the new reinforcement.
Changes within the 2022 preferred draft corridor
Taking into consideration feedback and information from additional studies, we are not progressing with routeing within the corridor passing to the east of East Tilbury.
We are proposing to install underground cables from the north of the Lower Thames Crossing proposals into Tilbury substation within the western corridor indicated in the 2022 consultation.
