Rest and Be Thankful diversion route to be upgraded

Transport Scotland said it was developing medium term improvements to the Old Military Road (OMR) through the Glen Croe corridor, days after the Rest and Be Thankful was subject to convoy control, writes Chris Tindall.

It said the improvements would make it a more resilient diversion route until a long-term solution was in place.

Proposed improvements included debris catch fences, temporary bunds and widening and discrete realignment to improve bends and avoid flooding.

It is expected that the works would be carried out on a phased basis commencing later in 2023.
