I’m glad about this. There’s clearly major issues with traffic in that area, but why on earth would the solution be to build a huge tunnel so close to one of our most ancient and iconic heritage sites? Think of all the archaeological relics this might have destroyed.
Just build a new road further away from Stonehenge!
I couldn’t agree more, the destruction of what might be there was my major concern. Digging a tunnel through a world heritage site should never have been approved in the first place, even if archaeologists excavated it all by hand.
And I guess building a new road further away would eat into other national parks/landscapes. Not sure what the answer is here. Suck it up I guess.

If they took it right through the hills and brought out out by Winterbourne Stoke then it would be much better I think?
Most of the traffic is through traffic anyway. Bringing it up by Long Barrow Roundabout (it’s in the name!) was crazy.
New roads don’t reduce traffic, they create more. It’s called induced demand. We should be building viable alternatives to driving.
