Can we rest and be thankful yet? : solutions and effective stakeholder engagement for the A83 trunk road route study. Paper presented at the STAR 2014 - Scottish Transport Applications and Research Conference, The Lighthouse, Glasgow, 21 May 2014.

In recent years a number of debris flow events have closed the A83 trunk road in the vicinity of Rest and Be Thankful. The resulting road closures have caused traffic delays and wider socio-economic impacts. This paper describes how stakeholder engagement was used to gather evidence of these impacts, how this was used in the economic appraisal of a range of solutions and how stakeholder engagement was maintained throughout the development of the study.
