The lack of a secure funding plan and the transport department's poor track record on delivering major projects are among the obstacles to plans to build the £1.7bn Stonehenge tunnel scheme, parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has warned. In a report published last week, MPs belonging to the watchdog said delaying financial decisions would jeopardise the proposed opening date. MPs on the finance committee said: "After several failed attempts, the government believes it now has a Stonehenge tunnel scheme that is affordable. deliverable and has the support of heritage and environmental bodies. "However, decisions on how to fund the project are on the critical path for the planned opening date of 2026 and are now at the mercy of the much-awaited spending review."
