The operation to remove the crane went smoothly after an earlier failed attempt.
A MONSTER crane stuck in a ditch on the A83 at least offered a distraction for a day or two from the crumbling condition of Argyll’s major trunk road.
The 126-tonne Liebherr 500T mobile crane became stuck in a drainage ditch beside the north-bound (Inveraray) carriageway of the A83 at 2pm on Thursday February 1.
