I strongly support the Amesbury to Berwick Down dualling and tunnel. The designers have gone a long way to fit the scheme into the sensitive landscape. I like the green bridges and the landscaping proposals using natural chalk grassland to mimic the surrounding grassland. It will be a grade separated dual carrigeway fit for purpose to enable direct journies to the South West Ideally should be a motorway along the lines of the A14(M) from Cambridge to Huntingdon. The construction period would be disruptive for five years but nature is a good healer. The stonehenge monuments will be enhanced and reunited without the current severance by the current inadequate A303.Winterbourne Stoke will be relieved of heavy traffic and better air quality for the villagers. At least the scheme has allowed much of the priceless archaeology to be preseved. The tunnel soil deposit site will look like a white moonscape at first, but top soiled over and grass seed sown it will recover. Look forwrd to the start of work in 2021.
