A83 road closure

[bill]

What I found very strange concerning the road closure was that on reaching Tarbet to find the obligatory road closed and diversion sign that was infact the last diversion sign in place.There was no further diversion signs at the left turn onto the a85,or the left onto the a819.I knew where to go,but I wonder how many strangers to the area carried on waiting to find the next non-exsistent diversion sign?

Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson has announced that work to reinforce the mountainside on the A83 Tarbert-Campbeltown road will start in the spring.
Mr Stevenson said: “I am very satisfied with the measures and with the readiness of Transport Scotland to respond very quickly to clearing the road. We are of course intending to have in place a permanent solution to the problem by 2010.


Let's hope he is right.

" the question of tunneling has come to the fore.

That is not a surprise. Construction of a tunnel, or even a trench, to minimize the effect of the proposed system in the region would solve a number of problems — at least in theory.

However, tunneling would be expensive. Solid cost estimates are not available. But financial projections will be ready at some point.

Until then, there will be plenty of speculation, "

You do wonder when Jounalists will get their facts right!?

He told MSPs at Holyrood yesterday that work to reinforce the mountainside on the A83 Tarbert-Campbeltown road will start in the spring.

It is TARBET to Campbeltown!!! Suggesting there are problems in Kintyre peninusla could be very damaging to people visiting here!

Not long back from away with work for a couple of days and was a miserable journey down the road - weather is awful! Couldn't but help look up when I was sitting at the traffic lights at the Rest and be Thankful and think to myself even if I seen something coming I couldn't move or try and get out of the way of it. Surely there has to be a concern about traffic sitting at a standstill on a point which has ended up with hundreds of tonners of mud etc all over it?

Home anyway but take care on the roads - lots of water on the roads and saw some poor soul came off the road at Ronachan.
