A344 road (England)
The A344 was an A road in the English county of Wiltshire. Until 2013 it ran from its junction with the A303 at Stonehenge, northwest to its junction with the A360, away. The A344 was once part of a longer route, from Andover (Hampshire) in the east to Warminster in the west. The section from Andover to Amesbury was redesignated as the A303 when the new route to the South West was created as an alternative to the A30. A section between Airman's Corner near Stonehenge and Shrewton was (sometime before 1958) shared with the re-routed A360. The western section, from Shrewton to Heytesbury near Warminster, has been re-classified as the B390. The remaining section passed close to Stonehenge. In July 2012, 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. This section of road was eventually closed in June 2013. The new Stonehenge visitors' centre at Airman's Corner (or Airman's Cross) opened in December 2013. Vehicle traffic on the remaining short section of the A344 is now mostly shuttle buses between the Stonehenge visitors' centre and
