Traffic has been moved to the diversion route via the Old Military Road.
The A83 Rest and Be Thankful in Argyll has reopened with a diversion after heavy rainfall overnight triggered a 500-tonne landslide.
Eddie Ross, Bear Scotland project manager, said the alarm was raised after discoloured water and debris were spotted coming down a hillside channel at 07:30.He said: "The debris fences and pit have retained all of the debris from what was a considerable landslide event. Mr Ross said the use of the Old Military Road had minimised the need for the longer diversion route and advised road users to expect delays of around 20 minutes.
Transport Scotland announced last June that a mile-long tunnel costing £470m is to be built to protect vehicles from landslips on the A83.
