A STUDY commissioned by the Government has recommended installing barriers alongside the Rest and Be Thankful to prevent further closure of the road from landslides.
The report by transport consultancy Jacobs says installing £10 million of further mitigation measures alongside the A83 in Argyll would significantly reduce the risk of debris being washed from the hillside on to the trunk road. But it has rejected more expensive options, including creating a tunnel and an elevated road that would virtually eliminate the risk of further closures.
