The Highways England scheme, which involves moving the A303 road further away from the stones and putting it underground in a 1.8 mile dual carriageway tunnel, is being carried out as part of a major roads package to cut congestion in the south west.
Other proposals include building a bypass for the village of Winterbourne Stoke and improvements to existing junctions between the A303 and the intersecting A345 and A360 north-south roads.
Overall, the project aims to develop the A303 corridor into a high quality, high performing route linking the M3 in the south east and the M5 in the south west, improving journeys for millions of people.

The consultation will continue until 05 March and anyone who would like to comment is being encouraged to do so via the scheme consultation website here.
Project director Derek Parody said: "The consultation on plans to relieve congestion on the A303 around Stonehenge is ongoing and the feedback we receive from everyone is really important in helping us to develop our proposed option.
"We are delighted with the response so far with more than 2,500 people attending our ten information events.
"The consultation website is still live and we would urge anyone who would like to comment on the proposals to do so before consultation ends on March 5."
Following the consultation, the preferred route will be announced later this year and is subject to the completion of statutory procedures for development consent.
