  They should never have allowed the building of Stonehenge that close to the A303 in the first place.

  As much as I like getting a glimpse of Stonehenge every time I drive past, I support these plans.

  Currently, the road goes from dual carriageway to oncoming traffic, with a limit of 50mph.
  Once the traffic gets busy, all it takes is a few people rubbernecking to cause a large slowdown. And the merge at the end of the Amesbury Bypass can take 20 minutes on a bad day.
  Adding extra lanes on the surface is unthinkable, and any route around would end up being a silly length.

  If I’m reading the plans correctly, this also duals the road past Winterbourne Stoke. So possibly removing the chaos that can be Lonwbarrow Roundabout.

  its the most underwhelming thing ive ever visited. Driving past it is far more exciting, its a nice thing to see out of a window but its actually rubbish up close

  Shitty clickbait title though

  How the area around Stonehenge will look, not Stonehenge itself

    Stonehenge, by it’s nature, can’t be viewed outside of it’s context. To view Stonehenge is to view it in its environment. It’s appeal comes from being part of the landscape, rather than just placed in it.
