A FORECAST for wet weather has postponed planned roadworks on the A2 in the Ebbsfleet Valley.

Kent Highways Agency had planned to do resurfacing work on a half-mile stretch of the coastbound carriageway this weekend.

It had scheduled to divert traffic over the roadworks between 9pm on Friday and 5am Monday.

But the expected rain has forced the agency to re-schedule the work for the following weekend, beginning 9pm on October 31.

This means the A2 in the Ebbsfleet Valley will be open as usual this weekend.
