A hated contraflow system on a busy dual-carriageway is now set to be in place until the end of October.

The scheme was introduced on the A299 Thanet Way at the start of June after safety issues with jet fans forced the closure of the coastbound section of the Chestfield Tunnel.

At the time, Kent County Council (KCC) said the contraflow and a 40mph speed limit would likely be in place for three months while new ventilation equipment was manufactured and installed.

But it was confirmed today the restrictions will be in place until October 31 - with any new fans now not due to be installed until the 2025/26 financial year.

Engineers will instead replace faulty parts of the existing system ahead of the road reopening at the end of next month.

KCC’s cabinet member for transport, Neil Baker, says he shares the frustrations of motorists as he is a daily user of the stretch being Whitstable and Herne Bay.

“As a cabinet member and someone who has to travel from Greenhill along the A299 and back a lot, I want the tunnel to be open as soon as possible, as safely as possible, and ultimately, a reliable system in place to work for the next few decades,” he told KentOnline.

Watch out if there is an E in front of the weight of what you are being - it means average weight and may mean you are not getting the full measure (photo from a poor victim). In the picture the poor person only for 456g instead of 500g. The variation is only supposed to be 10% but even that is a liberty
