Green campaigners say they're resigned to the fact a new route linking Kent and Essex will be built - exactly a year after the government confirmed the route...
The 13 mile road - including a 2 mile tunnel under the Thames - will go from the east of Gravesend to Tilbury.
The road is designed to ease conjestion at the current Dartford Crossing but won't open until 2027.
It's going to cost up to £6,2 billion to build.
