The bored short tunnel, as recommended by the Inspector, is too expensive, so that's not going to happen. The "Options for Review":

http://www.highways.gov.uk/roads/projects/8311.aspx

states:
"The methods of boring the 2.1km tunnel will be reviewed in the light of the discovered ground conditions to determine whether cost savings can be achieved."

I think they'll go for a short, cut-and-cover tunnel.
