London and beyond, and both the mayor and TfL are alive to the nature of

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.
