OK -- it's the least unreasonable thing to do, apart from "do nothing"
(and that isn't very reasonable -- the plan isn't simply to remove the
Stonehenge bottleneck, it's to remove the traffic from the site and to
make it easier to appreciate the context of the site).

The problem is that the entire area is full of historically and
archaeologically important sites -- there is no reasonable way round. At
least boring a tunnel underneath through ground rock should leave the
archaeology untouched.
