Further heavy rain is forecast and it is anticipated that the Old Military Road Local Diversion Route will continue to be used during the day tomorrow.

 

The BEAR Scotland team continues to have a presence on site and will be carrying out a detailed inspection of hillside conditions at first light tomorrow morning.  An update will be issued tomorrow, to provide details of further traffic management arrangements.
