‘New slip area’ of 100,000 tonnes of material at Rest and Be Thankful
Up to five times as much debris could fall as the 20,000 tonnes of landslips last year at the notorious A83 Rest and Be Thankful pass in Argyll, Transport Scotland has revealed.
It said monitoring estimates by road maintenance firm BEAR Scotland showed “potentially up to 100,000 tonnes of material within the new slip area” following the last major landslide in August.
The Scottish Government agency said a debris fence, “catchpit” and water diversion had been installed to reduce the impact of any further landslips.
