Hillside inspections and emergency roadside drainage works continue this morning at A83 Rest and Be Thankful.

A83 traffic has been diverted onto the Old Military Road from around 8pm last night, after extremely heavy and persistent rainfall caused drainage systems to overflow.

Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s North West Representative, said: “Our teams are working hard to fully reopen the A83 as quickly as possible. We will be reviewing progress in the early afternoon and will issue a further update thereafter.”

Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland A83 Rest and Be Thankful and X @trafficscotland. Ferry options are also available, check www.western-ferries.co.uk.
