Huge boulders and fears of further rockfall closes A82 Loch Ness route
A MAJOR Highland route has been shut after two huge boulders fell onto the A82 and sparking fears of further rockfall.
The Loch Ness-side road was closed between Invermorison and Drumnadrochit.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Following discussions with partner agencies, the road has been closed for matters of public safety regarding falling debris. There is a diversion in place.”
Motorists are advised to take the A86 at Spean Bridge, a diversion of almost 120 miles.
It is understood recent heavy rainfall and flooding may have dislodged boulders above the road, much of which is protected by metal meshing.
