Science_GT Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So they are proposing a 1.8m tunnel under the heritage site. Am I the only one to be ecstatic with this news in the Wiltshire area? Haha. So childish but everyone loves a loud exhaust or great engine in a tunnel! Won't be for a long time because of the opposition and length of time to make. Living in Bournemouth but family in Chippenham so would use this regularly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Until they make it 30mph with SPECS, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G1en Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Surely it would be more cost effective to just move Stonehenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just bulldoze the whole lot, only a few bits of rock and you could put a decent sized housing estate there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science_GT Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 No doubt they'll have a low limit. 0-40 it is haha. Haha so many people be furious with the bulldozing idea. Avbury is the same. It's all stones but seems to attract people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will then drive through with your loud exhaust at such a resonant frequency that it vibrates the stones above and they just shatter.....

Stonehenge is an energy portal positioned at the centre of a hub where 14 major ley lines converge making a powerful vortex of earth energies. You drive through giving it some welly in 2nd and as well as the stones shattering you will likely cause one mutherfkr of an earthquake as well!!

Ekona Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 In all seriousness though, I'm not entirely comfortable with major engineering works of this scale going on directly below a site of such historical importance. I'm hardly a tree hugging hippy, but this makes me quite uncomfortable. It's like putting a motorway on a big bridge over a National Park. To paraphrase the great Dr Ian Malcolm, just because you can doesn't mean you should. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree, even if you or I don't believe it's sacred ground, it was treated as such for many many years and should be kept that way.

Dangermoss Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Looking forward to this. I used to have to use the A303 a fair bit, the amount of wazzocks that would either slow right down (or just stop!?!) in the road to take a photo of the stones... I'd prefer a tunnel for the sounds but they could probably solve the traffic issue with a big fence. Probably won't happen for a few years yet, if it happens at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Sad really...i can remember when Stonehenge was free to go and look at, now they make millions for so called restoration and upkeep, yet its been standing for a millennia without maintenance.
