Rest and Be Thankful reopened following a spell of heavy rain

The Rest and Be Thankful has reopened more than 12 hours after it was forced to close due to the weather forecast.

The Rest and Be Thankful has reopened to traffic following an evening of heavy rainfall.

Motorists were being diverted away from the A83 Tarbet to Kintyre road and onto the Old Military road overnight as forecasters predicted an evening of heavy downpours.

Traffic management measured were imposed ahead of the diversion route, which came into force from midnight.

The busy route has now reopened following a thorough inspection of the hillside by Bear Scotland.

A spokesman said: “The Bear Scotland team continues to have a presence on site and are monitoring conditions closely. A further update will be issued if forecast or hillside conditions require a change to the above traffic management arrangement.”

Motorists to keep an eye out for further updates

Last night, Bear Scotland officials warned that due to the forecast, the local diversion route would likely remain in place throughout the day today.

Workers surveyed conditions on the hillside this morning as the forecast improved, confirming it was safe to reopen.

Bear Scotland remains on site monitoring the situation.

Officials are warning motorists to keep an eye out for further updates in the event that weather conditions change in the hours ahead.
