Lower Thames Crossing: The people affected by Essex-to-Kent road
73% Informative
The Lower Thames Crossing will become the largest road tunnel in the UK .
It is due to be built by 2032 at a cost of up to 10bn and is described as the most significant road project in a generation.
The 14.5-mile ( 23km ) road will link Essex and Kent via two tunnels under the river.
Residents say they have been told to sell up or live next to a major road.
Campaigners fear the potential damage to wildlife has worsened their grief.
80% of the crossing will run through either a tunnel, cutting or embankment.
It also wants to make seven "green bridges" to provide safer crossing points for people and wildlife.
One of those bridges falls 75 m ( 250 ft) from Mr and Mrs Hughes's home.
Mrs Hughes fears both residents and wildlife will be disrupted while it is constructed.
