Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Stonehenge road tunnel was a controversial tunnel in Wiltshire, England proposed by the Highways Agency to upgrade the A303 road. It would have moved the A303 into a tunnel under the Stonehenge World Heritage Site and close the A344 road. The project was designed to improve the landscape around the monument and to improve safety on the primary A303 and was part of proposals to change the site in other ways including moving the visitors centre. On December 6, 2007 Roads Minister Tom Harris announced that the whole scheme had been cancelled due to increased costs of GBP540 million. English Heritage expressed disappointment whilst Save Stonehenge were pleased with the outcome. The Highways Agency will continue to work on small scale improvements to the A303.
