Infamous A83 at Rest and be Thankful shuts for safety reasons three days after re-opening following 'safety' barrier installation

ONE of Scotland's key roads which has been plagued with landslides has shut three days after re-opening for the first time in two months.
The infamous A83 at Rest and be Thankful was being brought back into service from Friday morning as part of a strategy that was to see the the main road used during the day when weather conditions permit.
During the night-time, the single track alternative route, the Old Military Road (OMR) was to be used, which also is run through a single file convoy system, where drivers are escorted along the route.
But Transport Scotland's maintenance contractor Bear Scotland said they have had to close the A83 as a "safety precaution".
