Pothole alert!

what about the roundabout

Thought it might be worth highlighting any pot holes that could cause damage.

If your driving up or down the B8001/B842 Kennacraig to Carradale beware of the many and quite deep potholes which are scattered along this single track road. New suspension parts fitted to my car recently were tortured last night .

On travelling up the east coast road yesterday most of the potholes have been filled in on the Claonaig to Kennacraig section which may not last long as stretches seriously need to be resurfaced.

On the subject I wonder if any claims have went into the roads department recently because rest assured this will take its toll all all your vehicles running gear and suspension and could be costly at your next service or mot test.

I've got to say that the worst bit of the road is between tarbert and Ardrishaig, especially when your coming towards the town, i was down 2 weeks ago and got 3 chips in my wndscreen on this bit alone from the loose stone lying around. I was down/up last night again and the road has got considerably worse than it was 2 weeks ago, surely something has to be done on this, it is very dangerous.

Your right there "buzz" the stretch just south of the fishfarm at Stronahullin is terrible and has been for some time.You are meeting drivers in the middle of the road trying to clear this very dangerous road surface.
This is of course a trunk road and comes under is it Transerve or Amey?, what ever, time they were doing something about it before a serious accident occurs.
Did you see the lashing down straps lying on the road both sides of the carriageway at Lochgair, the canvas type with metal hooks at the end and ratchet?I could not stop as traffic was behind me.Surprising on coming home they were still there and despite me passing a police traffic car at Furnace obviously they did not stop to pick them up. I dropped in at Lochgilphead Police to report it and the deer that was just hit lying middle of road at Blue Rock cottages.

Saw the strap on the way doon and way back up, never saw the deer though, must have passed you on the road somewhere cos the police car was about 5 mins in front of me after attending an accident at lochgilphead. The bit at the fishfarm is horrendous, they'll probably need to end up closing the road again to repair it which will no doubt cause mayhem again

Having just returned from a couple of days up the road, the roads dept have come up with a fantastic solution to the terrible patch up job done to the surface between Tarbert and Ardrishaig - displaying 'RAMP AHEAD' signs in front of them! Genius
However, there are also a couple of illuminated signs stating that the road will be closing at nights for 3 weeks (didn't see the dates), so hopefully they will be dectifying that
