SMEs across Kent and Essex sign up to get involved in the Lower Thames Crossing

The Lower Thames Crossing is calling on local businesses in Kent and Essex to get involved in the most ambitious roads project for a generation.

We have created a Small Medium Enterprise (SME) directory, a database of local businesses and their specialisms. This database will be given to the main works contractors, so they have ready access to local firms – giving them the best possible chance to work on this transformative project.
