Cutting beneath the bowl

This article describes the £371 million Hindhead Tunnel project in Surrey. It is a project that locals and environmentalists have few objections to because it will reinstate large sections of National Trust woodland while reducing traffic and pollution. Also included is detail of the tunnel route, operation and construction, and issues of working close to housing and with sandier, less stable ground.
