Happy 60th birthday to the Dartford Crossing! The Dartford Crossing is one of our most important roads, and since it opened in 1963, it has helped people make over a billion journeys across the Thames. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be exploring the history of this vital river crossing, and the role it has played in the lives of millions. | National Highways

Cars such as a Buick Series 40 Phaeton from the 1930s up to a Mini from the 1990s helped mark history, and a hydrogen electric truck from Tevva Hydrogen Electric Trucks gave us a glimpse of the future. | National Highways | Facebook
