BBC South East has been told that a decision on the location of a new Lower Thames Crossing could be announced later this week.

Last year ministers promised an announcement "in due course" following the largest public consultation for a road project the country's ever seen.

Highways England is  recommending option 'C'  - which would see a road connect the M2 with the M25 from the east of Gravesend across to Tilbury in Essex - tunnelling under the Thames near the village of Higham.

Here's analysis from BBC South East reporter Leanne Rinne.

 A whirl of cream topped with parasites and a recreation of a protective deity destroyed by Islamic State in Iraq will go on display on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth. 

The two artworks have been chosen to reside at the landmark spot in London - currently home to a bronze, thumbs up sign - in 2018 and 2020. 

Lamassu, a winged bull which guarded the entrance to the Nergal Gate of Nineveh from 700BC, will be remade out of empty, date syrup cans, from Iraq. 

The deity was destroyed, along with other artefacts in the Mosul Museum, by terror group IS in 2015. 

US artist Michael Rakowitz has been attempting to remake over 7,000 archaeological artefacts looted from Iraq, in a project entitled The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist, since 2006. 

He said that the date syrup cans represented the once-thriving industry in Iraq decimated by war. 

The deity will go on display in 2018 and will be followed by The End, by British artist Heather Phillipson - a sculpture of a scoop of cream, topped with a cherry, a drone and a fly - in 2020.
