Changes at Dartford Crossing Payment System

Starting from 30th of November 06.00 GMT a new payment system was introduced at Dartford Crossing.
The Dartford-Thurrock River Crossing, commonly known as the Dartford Crossing is a major road crossing of the River Thames in England, connecting Dartford in Kent to the south to Thurrock in Essex.

The new payment system called Dart Charge will replace the barrier payments. The new payment system is meant to ease congestion. The old system with 27-lanes will be replaced with a four express ways system in each direction.

The drivers will need to pay for each crossing either in advance, or by midnight next day.
The fees can be paid online, or by phone or at one at many Payzone terminals.
