Traffic Scotland has advised motorists to take a 59.9 mile diversion route via Crianlarich to avoid the scene of the incident.
Traffic Scotland has advised eastbound traffic to turn left onto the A819 at Inveraray, following the road until Dalmally and then turning right and continuing until Tyndrum.
Motorists can then continue until Crianlarich on the A82 and follow this road until Tarbet.
Westbound traffic has been advised to turn around and continue eastbound on the A83 to Tarbet, turning left onto the A82 and following the road until Crianlarich.
