It doesn't look wide enough for a dual carriageway....hope they've got their measurements right!

Thank for the birthday wishes Toby!

It is massive once you get inside it nutcombe, i know what you mean though. When you stand on the viewing platform it does not look big enough to fit 2 lorrys side by side but once your inside it's like the tardis!

I'm sure they wouldn't spend over £300 million just to get it wrong, would they?

Hey Nutcombe,

Like I said it is massive once your inside it. i can confirm it is wide enough for a dual carraigeway and possibly a path down the sides for emergencies and evacuation needs

Wow!
Very impressed. Can't wait for it to open.

Is it running on/ahead/behind time?

I live in Portsmouth but my family is in Surrey, so hopefully the journey will be even quicker.

Carry on the great Blog! I have it on my bookmarks, and look at it for changes regularly.
