A344 road (England)

In July 2013, work began on a £27m project which involved the closure and grassing over of the A344 between Stonehenge Bottom and the monument, with the pedestrian underpass beneath the road being filled in.

The bus service could not cope with demand during the fourth weekend after opening; long queues developed and many visitors chose to walk to the Stones rather than wait for the buses.

A memorial to Major Alexander William Hewetson, of the 66th Battery Royal Field Artillery, stands beside the old A344 at Fargo Wood, west of Stonehenge.

Major Hewetson was killed in an accident on 17 July 1913 during a training flight from Larkhill Aerodrome, shortly after the formation of the Royal Flying Corps.
