Its a width restriction so its not going away anytime soon and so neither
will the jams. All that will happen is people use another crossing and so
the jams get worse there too. The blackwall tunnel approach is going to end
up
absolutely stuffed. Not that TfL will care, they'll probably paint it as a
success.

TFL say only an average of 103 per day out of 33,000, or 0.3% of
vehicles are affected. It only takes one of these though to hit
something in the tunnel to cause bigger problems.

Its not the number affected thats the problem - its everyone else crawling
at a snails pace through the absurdly narrow restriction. They would have been
doing 20-30mph at that point , now they'll be doing 2 or 3mph. Way to go TfL.
