Thats the M74 extension then, yes thats good, most expensive bit of motorway per mile apparently.
Erskine bridge only shuts for exceptional winds, the signs normally tell you before you reach the clyde tunnel.
I normally go via Inverary (A819), it is usually an easier route than the A82 from Tarbet. One word of caution though if we get much more rain, check traffic scotland for the A83 rest and be thankful, is open at present but has been closed recently due to landslides. http://trafficscotland.org/
