The short tunnel option probably wouldn't increase capacity assuming it was a straight replacement for the flyover. However the long tunnel option increases capacity. There would be 2 lanes in each direction in the tunnel and they would almost certainly still need to retain 2 lanes in each direction on the surface for the substantial proportion of A4 traffic going towards Fulham or Shepherds Bush that wouldn't use the flyunder as well as A316 traffic. So that is going from 6 to 8 lanes in total. So the long tunnel option would still need a 4 lane road above surface and a bloody big portal and interchange around Sutton Court Road. |
