I believe construction of subterranean roads will severely damage the historic site and surrounding area of Stonehenge. There will be disruption to the local area. There is no true justification for this that I can see. The site has been surrounded by surface roads for thousands of years, as is nearly every other historic site in the world in one form or another. Surface roads have always been the natural method of land transport for mankind, and it is very unnatural to stick a tunnel like this in the middle of the countryside, near a historical site. Traffic problems (if there are any) on the A303 should be an entirely separate issue, and not used as an excuse for wholesale modification of a unique asset for Britain.
