Proposed improvements to the A303 between Amesbury and Berwick Down ■ Thirteen kilometres of high quality, free-flowing dual carria - geway. ■ A tunnel at least 3.3 kilometres long under the World Herita- ge site, closely following the current route of the A303, but 50 metres from the Stonehenge monument, avoiding important ar- chaeological sites as well as obstructing the view of the sunset from the stones during the winter solstice. ■ A new bypass to the north of the village of Winterbourne Stoke. ■ Junctions with the A345 and A360 on both sides of the World Heritage Site. The A303 Stonehenge project inclu- des the execution of the civil, struc- tural, mechanical and electrical wor- ks, as well as the development and implementation of all the technologi- cal components that will enable the tunnel to be developed optimally by means of a tunnel boring machine. The project has a five-year comple - tion period with a 25-year mainte- nance period. FCC Construcción adds the A303 Stonehenge Bypass project to the list of infrastructures designed and built in England. In turn, this project joins other projects currently under way, such as the A465 Heads of the Valleys in Wales. Projects such as the Mersey Ga- teway Bridge over the River Mersey and Enniskillen Hospital in Northern Ireland, among others, demonstrate FCC Construcción’s commitment to the United Kingdom. It is a clear example of the development of sustainable and innovative infrastructure that not only provides traffic solutions, but also improves people’s quality of life A303 Stonehenge dual carriageway project.
