NIMBYs often have a justifiable complaint but get called that as an insult by greedy developers. I don't know if these are justified complainants or not but by all accounts the A303 is now very grim so I suppose a lot of new "rat runs" have been developed.

I feel kind of guilty that I'm pleased about changes that have caused so much hassle elsewhere but what can you do, leave SH in a mess for another 50 years?

Maybe the Govt will revisit the tunnel idea if it gets too bad. If it takes everyone another half hour to get to the West Country the tunnel looks like a cheap cure. But a long one please.

Actually, never thought of it before but the improvements might have actually strengthened the calls for a tunnel - but a short one. :(

Looks like the widening of the A303 (where it passes Stonehenge) is now back on the cards though so there are three possibilities (excluding a flyover fourth :-)

1) A dual carriageway above ground (no thanks, that’s going to increase the speed of vehicles and the noise generated by those vehicles as they whiz past the monument).
2) A dual carriageway tunnel.
3) A dual carriageway bypass.

I don’t know how feasible the latter is but it might be the only viable solution in the end (but wait for the howls of protest along the lines of, “It’ll destroy the environment.” and, It’ll wreck the archaeological record.” No it won’t, if done sensitively and correctly it’ll improve the environment around one of the world’s greatest monuments (which is what we’re talking about) and it’ll no doubt add to our understanding of the archaeological record of the area.
