Police are also warning to severe flooding between Lochgilphead and Tarbert on the A83.
Motorists are asking to take care.
A police tweet said: “There is severe flooding between Lochgilphead and Tarbert on the A83 please drive with care.”
The Met Office has also issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rainfall in the area.
