Transport Scotland Update 
• 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 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.
