1 Argyll & Bute Community Planning Partnership Area Community Planning Group Partnership update Date: 4 February 2025 Partner update – Transport Scotland Summary of updates for TS Roads; • Rest & Be Thankful – continuing daily management of the traffic management on this stretch of the A83 to ensure safe passing of the travelling public with regular stakeholder updates advising of changes to the traffic management. There is a final section of debris flow barrier still to be installed at sectors 3a & 3b which is now planned for February, all of which is carried out in full co-ordination with the ongoing ground investigation works which will assist the design of the long term solution (Debris Flow Shelter). • Cairndow – Signing improvements, still waiting for SSE to determine power connection but understand that they now have a way forward with remaining signs ready to be installed when SSE have completed their works. • Emergency works at Furnace (although slightly out with the area of concern for Cowal peninsula) were successfully completed during November 2024 to mitigate river erosion which was presenting a hazard to the operation of A83. This was rectified with the placement of rock bags on the embankment of Leacann Water in order to mitigate any further issues. Other works of note to be carried out before the end of this financial year include; • Re-surfacing works at West of Ardgarten • Bridge works on Fyne Bridge • Drainage works at Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, Succoth Ian Woodcock IEng FIHE BEng (Hons) Area Manager | Roads Directorate Transport Scotland | 2nd Floor - George House | 36 North Hanover Street | Glasgow | G1 2AD | Mobile | 07443 477136
