The tunnel that saved a nature reserve
A journey through the A3 Hindhead Tunnel, one day after opening, in real time. There are still roadworks at the northern end, and traffic coming the other way is still using the old road - the northbound tunnel opened to traffic the following day. The brand new tunnel and its pristine approaches can be seen, as well as new interchanges and dual carriageway at each end. Part of the Roads.org.uk retro collection of archive road videos.
