BEAR Scotland has announced that fresh debris flows on to the the A83 and old road - plus more rain forecast - means that the A83 at the Rest will not open this weekend.
According to BEAR Scotland, following a heavy rain storm at around 8am this morning, further secondary slips have occurred on the hillside at the A83.
The three large boulders that had been causing concern were secured last night and assessments have been taking place to try to open the Old Military Road this morning. However, this will now not be possible until the new slips have been assessed and any necessary mitigation works are undertaken.
More information will be shared once site assessments have been carried out.
Latest from BEAR Scotland at 4.20pm on Thursday October 11:
The A83 and Rest and be Thankful are still closed for safety until remaining boulders are secured on hillside. Surround routes remain on site. Engineers continue to work on site.
