Landslip closes A83 at Rest and be Thankful in Argyll | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The A83 at the Rest and be Thankful in Argyll has been closed by a landslip - for the seventh time in five years. | |
Heavy overnight rain across the west of Scotland washed about 100 tonnes of rubble on to the carriageway. | |
The road is expected to be closed until further notice, although contractor Bear has begun clearing operations. | |
The landslip occurred too far west for motorists to use an emergency diversion route which was opened in February along an old military road. | |
During previous landslips, motorists have been forced to undertake diversions of up to 50 miles. | |
Met Office yellow warnings for rain are in place for south west Scotland. | Met Office yellow warnings for rain are in place for south west Scotland. |
