Local roads teams have visited and assessed the scene and are preparing plant machinery in preparation for the clear-up and remedial works.
It is estimated that approximately 200-300 tonnes of material will need to be removed and the work could take a number of days to complete.
The landslip happened around five miles into the glen.
