It is expected to be built between 2009 and 2013 and will connect Beckton in the London Borough Of Newham with Thamesmead in the London Borough Of Greenwich . The Bridge will have a span of some 650 Metre s, must allow a 50 metre vertical clearance for Ship s, yet not impede the Flight Path of the nearby London City Airport . A number of designs have been prepared for public consultation; two are arched structures, and another two are a Truss structure, and a Box Girder structure. The designs foresee one bus lane and two road carriageways in each direction, and provide for the later introduction of Tram s or a Light Railway . The estimated cost, in 2003 figures, is £435 million. Public consultation showed 85% of respondents were in favour of the proposed bridge. However 74% also supported keeping the Woolwich Ferry open "in some form". SOURCES EXTERNAL LINKS
