Stonehenge to get a Multimillion Makeover

Stonehenge, one of the most famous ancient landmarks in the world, will be undergoing a major restoration in an effort to save this World Heritage site in London.


According to The Chicago Tribune:
Stonehenge is getting a multimillion-pound (-dollar) grant that conservators say will help restore some dignity to a World Heritage site blighted by busy roads and cramped facilities.
English Heritage said Friday that it now has about two-thirds of the money it needs to revamp the area around the prehistoric circle of stones, although the group acknowledged the improvements probably wouldn't come in time for the 2012 Olympic Games, when hordes of tourists are expected to descend on the site.
