It depends:-
* Does blocking a short tunnel mean you get a long tunnel instead? Or does it mean the road remains on the surface?
* Does the damage to the site from excavating a tunnel outweigh the improvement of the site by hiding the unsightly roadway?
* Does the climate emergency mean we should stop expanding roads for cars all together? Is a £1.7bn tunnel already too much to spend on cars, to say nothing of an even longer one?
If they've successfully blocked the short tunnel but instead they get to keep the congested surface road for another 30 years, that seems like an own goal to me...
