Motorists are facing a 55-mile diversion due to £1m roadworks.

A 16-mile stretch of the A82 has been closed between Tarbet and Crianlarich for 12 days.

It will add 39 miles to the journey between the villages near Loch Lomond until November 18.

The works include repairs to a crash barrier damaged in a lorry collision in May.

Eddie Ross, from road maintenance firm BEAR Scotland, said: "We've been preparing for the major programme of work to get under way on Monday.

"Trunk road safety is our top priority, and in this case we have to close the road for the protection of our teams as well as motorists.

"We have however reached out to other organisations not just to inform them of the closures, but also to provide the opportunity for them to use the traffic management arrangements we have in place to carry out any works of their own."
