Two years ago, queues of cars were constantly stops on A3 in Devil's Punch Bowl in Surrey. Now, this area is a quiet countryside, where families stroll calmly and enjoy natural views.

All this transformation has as a backdrop a "miracle" of engineering that led this highway down the Hill. Here, about 1,000 vehicles per hour follow your destiny.

According to British media, this infrastructure cost rose million. Those responsible for the work, on the other hand, were astounded by how nature regained the place.

These works, which are part of the motorway which connects London to Portsmouth in the South of the country, started in 2008, taking the motorway was opened in 2011. In addition to return to its natural heritage part of his inheritance, the work has reduced travel in 20 minutes.

Instead of cars, now are the runners, walkers and cyclists who use the space. In addition to the trees, the birds also won with this engineering solution â€" many of them are coming back to a place where their ancestors lived.

See some of the photos of before and after the infrastructure.
