Grant Shapps gives approval for A303 to be tunnelled under ancient site in £1.7bn project
A controversial £1.7bn road tunnel under Stonehenge has been given the go-ahead by the government, as campaigners vowed to continue the battle to oppose it.
The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, approved a development consent order on Thursday to allow the nearby A303 road to be turned into a dual carriageway and tunnelled under the ancient site.
