The A299, better known as the Thanet Way, is a major road of 22 miles (35 km) in the county of Kent, England, and runs from Brenley Corner near Faversham (where it merges into the M2) to Ramsgate via Whitstable and Herne Bay.
[7] This section of road has been renumbered as an extension of the A299 to Ramsgate Harbour, including a 1-mile tunnel under the Pegwell area constructed in the 1990s.
[8][9] The section from Minster roundabout to the Lord of the Manor roundabout was diverted on to a new dual carriageway during 2009–12, constructed as part of "East Kent Access" phase 2 to provide better access to Manston Airport and the Pfizer complex at Sandwich.
This included a box jacked underpass below the Foads Hill road and railway line at Cliffsend.
[10] In 2020, Kent County Council installed mobile CCTV cameras along the A299 in anticipation of HGV backlogs due to Brexit.
