The Rest and Be Thankful remains shut more than 24 hours after it first closed with more inspections to take place this morning.
The A83 has been closed after heavy rainfall caused landslips onto the road in the early hours of Monday morning, and the traditional diversion routes were also shut.
BEAR Scotland reported a total of 11 landslips over a 3km stretch and clean up crews have been working to remove the debris from the road.
Diversions are in place on the A819, the A85 and A82 and it means some drivers face a 60-mile diversion to get to their destination.
The road could remain closed for most of Tuesday as well with Traffic Scotland providing an update to drivers that more inspections will take place on Tuesday morning.

A Traffic Scotland statement said: “Due to a weather related incident which has resulted in debris on the carriageway A83 is closed at Butterbridge and South of Rest and be Thankful.
“Inspections will take place this morning”
Euan Scott, BEAR Scotland’s north-west representative, said: “The scale of the operation to clear the A83 is considerable, but our teams are working hard with partners to reopen the road as soon as it is safe to do so.
“With further heavy rain expected, our priority is to continue geo-technical inspections of the affected hillsides and to clear material to allow the road to reopen. We thank local residents and road users for their patience while this work takes place.”
