Restricted invitation to tender, deadline 16th May, 2001, for design and target cost construction of $150 million, 2 km-long Stonehenge bypass tunnel in chalk for UK Highways Agency, Birmingham, fax +44 (0)1216 788299. World heritage site, for which TBM would be the natural choice. Visit www.mottmac.com and www.highways.gov.uk 18/01.
Prequalification list for tunnel to divert A303 road around Stonehenge World Heritage site includes Costain-Balfour Beatty, Skanska, Mowlem-Miller, Sir Alfred MacAlpine-Amec, and Sir Robert MacAlpine-Bouyges. This is notionally a cut and cover tunnel with bored option. However, cut and cover is not a realistic proposition in an area of such archaeological importance, so the underground option is likely to be chosen. Visit www.highways.gov.uk 38/01.A jv between Balfour Beatty and Costain has been awarded an improvement scheme contract for the A303 road close to Stonehenge by the Highways Agency. The project includes a bypass for the village of Winterbourne Stoke and a 2 km tunnel for the A303. The jv will be supported by designers Halcrow and Gifford. Construction work to start in 2005, subject to Public Inquiry. Visit www.highways.gov.uk 14/02.The government has shelved plans to build a 2.1 km tunnel by burying the A303 in the surroundings of Stonehenge because the tunnel's estimated cost has ballooned from GBP284 million two years ago to GBP470 million. The new estimate would have made the Stonehenge tunnel one of the most expensive stretches of road ever planned, exceeding the 1.6 km Limehouse link tunnel from the City to Canary Wharf in east London, which cost GBP450 million in the early 1990s. The increase in the cost was due to two main factors: very large quantities of soft, weak chalk and a high water table, with the ground water potentially rising to the surface at times of heavy rainfall. These factors would significantly complicate the tunnelling process and extend the overall construction period of the scheme. Construction was due to have started this spring and the tunnel would have been completed by 2009. Click uk/34. 30/05.
Highways England has been awarded to an Atkins/Arup joint venture. It is a package of work with an estimated value of EUR23.04 million to design options for A303 between Amesbury and Berwick Down to take to public consultation and ultimately to find a preferred route announcement. The scheme includes a tunnel near Stonehenge and a bypass for the village of Winterbourne Stoke. Subject to statutory procedures, the proposed scheme is on target for construction work to start by April 2020.
The design team, appointed under Highways England’s Collaborative Delivery Framework (CDF), will provide technical services including highway and tunnel design, environmental and geotechnical engineering, acoustics and prepare a public consultation on options in readiness for a preferred route announcement.

Highways England has shortlisted the following three international groups to build the EUR1.85 bn (GBP1.7bn) Stonehenge tunnel: BM JV (Bouygues Travaux Publics SAS and J Murphy & Sons Ltd), HD JV (Hochtief Infrastructure GmbH and Dragados SA) and MORE JV (FCC Construccion SA -42.5%, Salini Impregilo SPA-42,5% and BeMo Tunnelling UK Ltd -15%). The three groups in the next 6 months will have a competitive dialogue with Highways England. They have to submit their final tenders by October. The winner will be announced in 2021.
At the beginning of March in the 2020 budget document from the UK government confirmed the funding of the new, high-quality dual carriageway and of the two-mile tunnel in the South West to speed up journeys on the A303 removing traffic from the iconic setting of Stonehenge.
The government is transforming regional connections through the largest ever investment in England’s motorways and major A roads. The second Road Investment Strategy (RIS2) will spend over £27 billion between 2020 and 2025. The project is included in the RIS2. For further information please use this link . 13/20.

National Highways (UK) selected the More Joint Venture composed of Webuild (42,5%), FCC Construccion (42.5%) and BeMo Tunnelling (15%) as its Preferred Bidder for the GBP1.25 billion (EUR1.48 billion) contract for the tunnel and main construction work for the A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down scheme past Stonehenge. The A303 Stonehenge - Main Works Contract covers the construction of the proposed 2 miles (3.3 km) tunnel’s civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and technology components along with the approach 8 miles (approximately 13 km) of free-flowing, high-quality dual carriageway roads, a new bypass to the north of the village of Winterbourne Stoke and junctions with the A345 and A360 either side of the World Heritage Site. Estimated duration construction works 5 years.
The tunnel alignment will be underneath the World Heritage Site, closely following the existing A303 route, but a further 50 metres away from the Stonehenge monument, avoiding important archaeological sites, and avoiding intrusion on the view of the setting sun from the stones during the winter solstice .
The contract will only become live once the Secretary of State for Transport has concluded the current process of relooking at the planning application for scheme, following the quashing of the decision to grant the Development Consent Order last year.
The More Joint Venture will be supported with a design partnership made up of Atkins, Jacobs and Sener.

Westminster, the final station on the Jubilee Line Extension, opened on 22nd December just in time to ferry members of Parliament to the Millennium Dome for the New Year celebrations. The line had been opening in sections since 14th May, 1999 and trains had been running along its full length since 20th November without stopping at Westminster. The new station extends 38.2 m below street level to service the JLE lines (which are stacked at this point) and interchanges with the existing Circle and District line. It has 17 escalators, two elevators and four fixed stairways from the JLE platforms to the ticket hall, and another two elevators and two staircases from the Circle and Disrict line. The station forms the foundation for Portcullis House, a new office block opposite Big Ben reputed to be the most expensive accommodation in London at $1.6 million/room. January 2000.
The Crossrail and Chelsea-Hackney underground railway proposals have received a $200 million allocation to fund further design work, for which tenders will be invited soon. Administrators will be Sir Alastair Morton's Strategic Rail Authority and Mayor Livingstone's Transport for London, run by Bob Kiley. Both schemes have been on the back burner for years, with Crossrail having completed its final design in the early nineties. Mott MacDonald and Maunsell designed the Crossrail tunnels; Symons/Travers Morgan, Liverpool Street station; Babtie, Farringdon station; Mott MacDonald, Tottenham Court Road station; Halcrow, Bond Street station; and Benaim/Golder, Paddington station. Dr Sauer was NATM consultant. Halcrow had earlier completed the preliminary design for the Chelsea-Hackney line.Crossrail was kicked into touch in favour of the Jubilee Line Extension, a project subsequently consigned to the Chamber of Horrors on account of its time and cost overruns. Before Crossrail can be tendered, Messrs Morton and Kiley have to overcome the public resentment generated by the JLE debacle. In the meantime, they have briefs to remedy the infrastructural dereliction of both Railtrack and London Underground. With the best will in the world, they cannot do both, and Crossrail will be the inevitable loser. Visit www.dr-sauer.com 27/01.A team led by Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering including Balfour Kilpatrick for the mechanical and electrical works and Stent for ground improvement, has secured a GBP115 million contract. The scope of the work is predominantly below ground and comprises the construction of the Northern ticket hall adjacent to King's Cross main railway station. It includes construction and fitout of a three-storey concrete box which will provide improved access to the Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines via new escalators and accessible lifts. Fitout works include both architectural finishes and the installation of a full range of building services.Mobilisation has already started and work will start in the summer. The works will be undertaken without impeding the station's 80 million annual passengers. Partial completion of the works in 2008 will allow access for Network Rail to proceed with the redevelopment of the mainline station. When finished in 2011, the station is estimated to be handling 92,000 passengers during the daily morning peak. Works at both the underground and mainline stations will be completed for the 2012 Olympics. Visit www.balfourbeatty.com 23/06.The Morgan Est / Beton- und Monierbau joint venture (MBJV) has been awarded a GBP55 million programme of tunnelling works by Metronet Rail to provide additional underground pedestrian links at King's Cross station. The tunnelling works form part of the new Northern ticket hall that will link the metro station to the King's Cross and St Pancras main line stations and the new Channel Tunnel Rail Link terminus at St Pancras. The contractors will build over 300 linear metres of tunnels ranging from 4 metres to 9.5 metres in diameter. These will then connect and provide passengers with new underground links from the Northern ticket hall to the deep-level Piccadilly, Northern and Victoria lines. The works will also include the construction of stairways, escalator shafts and an elevator shaft which will provide lifts for the mobility impaired within the underground station. The project involves building new works underneath King's Cross main line station and adjacent to St Pancras Chambers, which are Grade I listed, and the Great Northern Hotel, which is Grade II listed. The tunnelling project is due for completion in spring 2008. View schematic here. Read E-News Weekly 23/2006.
