A pensioner living next to a new major road project will access his home through a 'private' TUNNEL - that could cost up to £6M.<br /><br />Brian Garlick has been forced out of his home alongside the A417 Missing Link - a three-mile-long dual carrigeway under construction between Gloucester and Cirencester. <br /><br />But he says National Highways has withdrawn an offer of £750k to buy the property so he will be stuck with it after the project is completed in 2027. <br /><br />And he said he was shocked at hearing the safest way to access his home when the road eventually opens would be through a specially built tunnel - costing between £4m and £6M.<br /><br />Without its construction, Brian won't be able to go anywhere. <br /><br />He explained that the tunnel is planned to be a quarter of a mile away from his house - but the details of its dimensions are yet to be decided.<br /><br />Brian, 69, who is currently living alone in a caravan park during the building phase must currently give 21 days notice to access the home he was born in.
