LONDON CITY AIRPORT is to be directly connected with Woolwich on the other side of the Thames by the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), following Parliamentary approval of a Bill that allows for a 1.5m tunnel under the river. The project should be completed by 2008. In the meantime, work progresses on the DLR extension from Canning Town (with its Underground connection) to the airport, with an opening by the end of 2005 pencilled in.
