Kent County Council will be discussing plans for a £12.2 million tunnel linking the bus route between Ebbsfleet Garden City and Bluewater for the Fastrack service.It comes as construction continues on a housing development of 6,250 homes at Eastern Quarry, now known as Whitecliffe, bordered by Bean Road/Bluewater to one side and Ebbsfleet International on the other.Two haulage tunnels previously used during the construction of Bluewater during the 1990’s still exist but investigations into their potential use found it would be more cost effective to construct a new tunnel.
