Due to the heavy and persistent rainfall on Friday evening and Saturday, there have been seven identified landslips on the A83, including several at the Rest and Be Thankful.
Road closures are in place between Inverarary and Tarbet due to landslides both sides of Dunoon junction. The hard closure point is at Ardgarten, with Road Closed Ahead at Tarbet.
The usual diversion via A819/A85/A82 at A85 Dalmally is also currently closed due to flooding.
Western Ferries, route from Gourock to Dunoon, is currently available.
We are working as part of the Argyll and Bute Resilience Partnership to assess road closures and incidents in the area.
This is an evolving situation, and our BEAR Teams are on site attending landslide locations, but it is currently not safe to commence any clean-up operations.
More details will be available after inspections take place on Sunday 8 October. Until then, the A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful will remain closed.
