Rest and Be Thankful diversion work delayed again

COMPLETION of an emergency diversion of the A83 Rest and Be Thankful, which has been closed five times in five years due to falling debris, has been delayed by more than two months.

Landslide warning lights on the key route into mid-Argyll were turned on again this week but it now seems likely it will be at least February before work on the alternative route along the old military road is finished. This route is seen as a lifeline for business and residents, who face lengthy diversions when the A83 is closed.
