A83 AT REST AND BE THANKFUL: TRAFFIC REMAINS DIVERTED ONTO OLD MILITARY ROAD

October 6, 2022

Please be advised that traffic will continue to be diverted onto the Old Military Road Local Diversion Route through today and overnight until Friday morning due to the heavy persistent rain forecast and high hillside saturation levels.

A further update will be issued if there is any change to the above traffic management arrangement.

Our team continues to have a presence on site and are monitoring conditions closely.

Road users should also note that the A83 is currently restricted in both directions at Arrochar due to a recent road traffic incident and reference should be made to the Traffic Scotland website (Traffic Scotland | Trunk road traffic updates & route planner) for updates regarding full road reopening.

Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.trafficscotland.org, twitter at @trafficscotland and the mobile site my.trafficscotland.org.
