What's next, Rome closing the street adjacent to the Coliseum? France closing the Champs D'Elysees? These characters remind me of the people bemoaning global warming. It took years for these masterpieces to be constructed and they won't collapse due to a bunch of cars driving nearby.

If the Parthenon frieze were not safely in the museum in London it would have dissolved already due to air pollution in Athens. These old things speak to us of important things, but they won't speak if they are reduced to rubble.

How true... if it weren't for cars, we wouldn't have Carhenge.

From reading the article, the problem is not the existing road; it’s the traffic congestion on the existing one and the proposed construction of a new road and or tunnel.

“The issue was not the preservation of the stones but protection and restoration of the surrounding site, believed to hold undiscovered archaeological treasures.”

Stonehenge is a complex much larger than the stone circle everyone knows.

And I think I’d have a problem with a four-lane tunnel under the Coliseum or a monorail through the Champs D'Elysees
