TEMPORARY traffic lights have been put in place on a short stretch of the A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful.

The lights are in place to allow teams to safely inspect the embankment at the edge of the road.

The lights, approximately 500m south of the Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint car park, will allow specialist contractors to carry out ground investigations in the area of the westbound lane.

Eddie Ross, BEAR Scotland’s North West representative said: “Our geotechnical teams require access to an area of the embankment at the side of the A83 to carry out some ground investigations and the lights are needed to help them do this safely.

“We are not expecting significant delays but motorists can plan their journeys in advance and check the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information.”
