WORKERS are back on site at the Rest and be Thankful after a 10-week hiatus since Christmas.
Work on landslip ‘mitigation’ measures on the A83 was halted over the Christmas break to avoid traffic disruption during a period where minimal progress could be achieved. Weather conditions forced an extended delay – but trunk road management firm BEAR Scotland has now confirmed that workers have returned.
The works involve the excavation of three debris flow catch-pits at the bottom of the slope next to the trunk road. This is designed to stop debris from a future landslide on the channels above each pit location reaching the road, hopefully helping to keep the A83 open.
