The A3 Tunnel is an important road construction programme in the UK. The tunnel is 1.9km in length and will free the horrendous bottleneck on the A3 at Hindhead.The scheme has been around for 25 years. Works on site commenced in March 2007 and the tunnel digging commenced in Feb 2008. The tunnel diameter is 7.3m. The tunnels and road will be formally opened in 2011. This blog charts the progress of the tunnel and invites pictures and comments from the public,residents,contractors & commuters to form a social record of this civil engineering event .
