    I’m not sure what you mean?
    It’s a two-part problem, the road going from dual carriageway to single, and people wanting to grab a look on the way past.
    Stonehenge is a unesco site on a plain, so widening the existing road, or planting a huge row of trees, is not going to go down well with the druids.

    Getting the road out of site (by either tunnel or diversion) will go a long way to de-modernising the surroundings. (And a fun fact: Half of stonehenge was underpinned with concrete in the last century! So any ways to make it more natural are a plus.)

      I don’t object to a road being built. I object to £2.3b being spent on it. If the view is so much of a problem then spent a lot less and block it. Add a mound, put some trees there, even a wall would be cheaper.

      If de-modernising is such a good thing can we all have it? OFC not because it would be bloody stupid, much like this hair-brained scheme is.
