A303 Stonehenge stories

The A303 past Stonehenge is used by thousands of drivers every day. We’ve spoken to different people to understand how the current road touches their lives and how our improvements will change this.

We’re unveiling our ambition for the project, as told through the voices of people affected by it. You won’t hear from anyone from National Highways. These are real people talking in their own words.
