PLANS for a controversial Stonehenge tunnel have been submitted today to the Planning Inspectorate.
Proposals for the A303 include building a 1.8 mile dual carriageway tunnel as it passes the World Heritage Site.
The road, currently a single carriageway, is a notorious bottleneck on the route to the South West.
The formal plans come after a lengthy public consultation on how best to tackle traffic issues in the area.
The planning inspector now has 28 days to review the application and decide whether or not to accept the plans.
If these are accepted, the application documents will be published to allow people to view the details of the proposals.
