Don't expect the gateway bridge to be resurrected. If that ever got
built the government would lose a load of money in road tolls from the
dartford crossing. Unless of course they made the new bridge a toll as
well which I wouldn't put past them.

It was going to be a toll bridge with discounts for local residents,
specifically to deter people from dodging Dartford.
