For a start, it won't be lit with low-pressure sodium lamps, because modern planning insists on something a bit more economical and more directed than these rather antiquated devices. <br /><br />Secondly, the tunnel entrance won't be at ground level. Going from a ground level road to a tunnel which will have to be bored, not a cut & cover job because of the sensitivity of the landscape will necessitate an approach road that is substantially sunk into the ground. The approach will thus be down a canyon, with the actual portal being several metres below the surface.<br /><br />Thirdly, this is a world heritage site where the purpose and local sensitivities clearly known. As such, I would strongly suggest to the builders that they really would like to put ANPR average speed cameras onto the road, to enforce a 50 MPH limit most of the time. For the actual day of the solstice, a limit of 30 MPH could be enforced, to go along with substantially dimming the LED road lighting, so as not to ruin the view for onlookers.

For delta T I have used Morrison & Stephenson, 1982.<br /><br />http://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=6807&forum=4&start=20<br /><br />It would be useful for people checking the potential tunnel alignments to refer to the table for consistency. If anyone has an up-to-date 360-degree local horizon profile for Stellarium, based on 2-metre LiDAR data or better, I would be very grateful to have a copy of it.<br /><br />I have a higher resolution copy of the table if you wish to make it available on your blog.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Richard <br />Richard Bartoszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367500849154120275noreply@blogger.com
