• The A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful will operate under convoy control until 4pm today
• From 4pm traffic will be diverted onto the Old Military Road given forecast rain and the level of hillside saturation.
• Further assessment to be carried out on Friday morning.

Please be advised that the A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful will continue to operate under convoy control until 4pm today.

Given the forecast for heavy persistent rainfall overnight, and the high hillside saturation being experienced because of recent weather, traffic will then be diverted onto the Old Military Road Local Diversion Route from 4pm today (Thursday).

Traffic will utilise the Old Military Road Local Diversion Route overnight on Thursday with a further assessment to be carried out on Friday morning.

Our team continues to have a presence on site and are monitoring conditions closely, and a further update will be issued if there is any change to the above traffic management arrangement.
