The A344 at Stonehenge will be closed to make way for a new visitor centre at the historic site.
The Government announced this week that a new £25M visitor centre will be built at Airman’s Corner, about 2.5km from the site.
The scheme will include a visitor transit system, dropping visitors off near the monument. The A344/A303 junction will be closed and the section of the A344 from Stonehenge Bottom to the Stones will be decommissioned and grassed over. The closed junction will eliminate a traffic black spot.
English Heritage chairman, Sir Barry Cunliffe, said: ‘Our vision for Stonehenge has always been a simple one: to restore a sense of dignity and wonder to its setting. I believe the plans announced today will do this.’
