Plans are under way to dramatically revise traffic patterns around England’s Stonehenge. The famous monument sits within a triangle bounded by a busy A-road, with a lesser road (which goes to the National Trust entrance and gift shop) running within feet of the circle.<\/p>\n![\"Stonehenge](\"\/blog\/inages\/stonehenge-tunnel.jpg\")
The \u00a3192 million plan for a tunnel would also widen the A303, which is choked with traffic during the tourist season, and grass over the A344, which runs just yards from the stone circle. Other features include a bypass for the village of Winterbourne Stoke, a flyover and several new roundabouts.
