OLYMPIC LANES: NO ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC

VIP Olympic lanes are for athletes and their families only, even in severe gridlock. The lanes leading up to Blackwall Tunnel will not be opened to the public under any circumstances.

TFL’s director of borough partnerships Alex Williams said: “Blackwall Tunnel is a critical link…we have done refurbishment and have more police on standby so if someone’s broken down they will be removed as soon as possible.”

Many roads approaching the tunnel will have VIP lanes and the Olympic Route Network is due to be put in place two days before the games begin.

Painters from across the country will be helping with this huge process.
