‘MAJOR progress’ on additional short and medium term plans at the A83 Rest and be Thankful and the ultimate long term preferred route corridor has been announced by the Scottish Government following a preliminary assessment of all 11 route corridor options for improving access to Argyll and Bute.
The preferred alternative route is the Glen Croe corridor listed as Option 1 in a recent consultation. It is said to be more cost effective and quicker to deliver, having significantly less environmental constraints and work on route options within the long term preferred corridor has been accelerated, since public feedback has stressed the need to move quickly.
