Rest and Be Thankful

A mile-long tunnel is to be built to protect vehicles from landslips on one of Scotland’s most famous tourist roads. 

The A83 Rest and be Thankful in Argyll has regularly been closed by falling rocks and debris in recent years, leaving motorists facing long detours. 

Transport Scotland has now unveiled plans for an open-sided shelter costing up to £470m as its preferred solution.

It hopes that construction could begin later this year.
