Want to read more? At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However, rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free. To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic.  The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thanks you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time

Deaths warning as ministers slammed for 10-year solution wait for A83 at Rest and be Thankful

MINISTERS have been warned of the risk of deaths as they forge ahead with a 10-year timescale to provide an permanent solution to Scotland s most notorious stretch of road - having sanctioned paying £25m on consultants alone. Transport Scotland is offering a ten year contract for the consultants who will oversee and support delivery of a new route to replace the A83 at the Rest and be Thankful which has suffered decades of landslides. The contract being sought is over and above any construction costs, and associated ground investigations aimed at making life for motorists safe at the landslip-prone A83 at the Rest and be Thankful (RABT).

Rest and Be Thankful: Landslip-prone A83 to remain fully open in safety trial

The A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful is to remain open overnight for the first time in over eight months in a 24-hour trial operation over the next two days. The infamous lifeline road has been in and out of action since August last year, following a landslide. The trial will help officials consider if the route can remain open safely overnight on a long-term basis. Starting today, all traffic will remain on the A83 overnight with teams carefully monitoring the hillside and weather conditions in the area. However, the Old Military Road will remain on standby as a local diversion route throughout the two-day trial - with teams ready to implement use of the route should weather conditions deteriorate in the area.
