Stonehenge road tunnel information


Traffic on the A303 road passing by Stonehenge

The Stonehenge road tunnel is a planned tunnel in Wiltshire, England, drawn up by National Highways to upgrade the A303 road. It would move the A303 into a tunnel under part of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, completing the removal of traffic begun with the 2012 closure of the A344 road.[1] The wider project was designed to improve the landscape around the monument and to improve safety on the A303,[2] and was part of proposals to change the site in other ways including moving the visitors' centre. In 2020, the project was expected to cost £1.7 billion.[3]
