WORK has begun on a temporary barrier along a section of the Old Military Road (OMR) and is expected to be completed by Christmas, increasing protection on the local diversion to the A83 Rest and Be Thankful.
A 175 metre long, 6 metre high barrier will be positioned next to the OMR at the foot of the vulnerable channel formed by landslips in August and September. Once in place it will enable further use of the diversion during adverse weather.
