This paper examines the influence of stakeholder participation in project execution on completion of road projects implemented by Kenya Urban Roads Authority. Descriptive research survey design was used for collection of both quantitative and qualitative data. Analysis was performed using correlation and regression analysis. The results were r = 0.796, R2 = 0.634, F (4, 209) = 90.503 and p<0.000<0.05. The findings revealed that stakeholder participation in project execution showed a strong, positive and statistically significant relationship with completion of urban road transport infrastructure projects and accounted for 63.4% of total variation in such projects. The study recommends government agencies should endeavour should work together during project implementation to ensure that service lines and acquisition of land is done ahead of time to avoid delay in completion. This will aim at ensuring quality work is achieved by both the client and the consultant through a collaborative stakeholder engagement. In conclusion, the findings of this study will shape the future of road construction and stakeholder engagement in road construction projects.

Social Network Dynamics

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the practice of stakeholder engagement as a social network dynamics for stakeholder satisfaction and project success in the lifecycle of mega transport infrastructure projects (MTIPs). Design/methodology/approach Hypotheses indicating the positive relationships between stakeholders’ effective attributes, stakeholder engagement as social network dynamics and project success through stakeholders’ satisfaction have been developed. Based on a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews, responses have been gathered from the representative groups and organizations on their social network dynamics for their satisfaction and project success. A hypothesized structural equation model has been tested using AMOS statistical software package. Findings The analysis highlighted the engagement of the stakeholders within the strategic intents of the project with the public needs and expectations. The model depicts the processes of building social network models based on the capturing of the project’s data in relation to the stakeholders’ communication and satisfaction across the key issues for success in the lifecycle of MTIP. Practical implications The model is applicable on most MTIP with a diverse stakeholder base and the underlying complexity associated with the community participation and consultation processes. The model will also support wider stakeholder engagement in the planning of MTIP with optimal operationalization and service delivery from a community perspective. Originality/value The research involves an approach for rationalizing the stakeholder engagement policies of the MTIPs by providing an empirically grounded model simultaneously linking various aspects of stakeholder effective attributes, stakeholder engagement and their relationships to stakeholder satisfaction and project success in MTIPs.

Purpose: Major road construction projects across Kilifi County have experienced delays in delivery due to a majority of contractors, both local firms and government agencies, failing to adhere to agreed-upon completion dates.it is in the backdrop of these problems that influenced the researcher to establish the influence of time management on the implementation of road projects in Kilifi County. The main purpose of this study was to examine the influence of time management on the implementation’s road constructions projects in Kilifi County.Methodology: The study adopted cross sectional research design and collect data using questionnaires from 120 engineers/project managers, supervisors/inspectors and technicians/foremen from 12 organizations including five construction companies involved in urban road construction projects in Kilifi County, five service providers whose utility facilities run along road construction corridors in Kilifi County, and two state corporations charged with the management of road construction in Kenya. Data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics. Descriptive analysis involved the use of frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation in order to summarize the results of the various study variables. Inferential analysis involved the application of Pearson correlation and regression analysis to determine the nature of relationship between time management and implementation of road projects in Kilifi County.Results: The study found out that activity sequencing positively and significantly affects road constructions projects in Kilifi County (r = 0.688, P=0.000 < 0.01). The study further determined that a unit improvement in activity sequencing would lead significantly lead to improvement in road project implementation (β = 0.127, t = 2.037, P=0.044 <0.05). It was also determined that resource estimation positively and significantly affects implementation of road constructions projects in Kilifi County (r = 0.721, P = 0.002 < 0.01). the analysis also showed that a unit improvement in resource estimation would lead to a unit improvement in road project implementation (β = 0.218, t = 2.741, P = 0.005<0.05). The study also determined that activity control significantly and positively predicts implementation of road constructions projects in Kilifi County (r = 0.909, P= 0.000< 0.01). The regression analysis showed that a unit improvement in activity control would significantly lead to an improvement in implementation of road construction projects in the county (β = 0.173, t =3.045, P = 0.003<0.05). Finally, the study found out that institutional capacity affects road projects implementation (r = 0.558, P=0. .003 < 0.01). It was also determined that institutional capacity has moderating influence on the relationship between time management and road project implementation (β = 0.185, t = 4.302, P=0.000 < 0.05).Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The study recommended that for effective time management during implementation of road construction projects, there should be stakeholder involvement as this will facilitate ideas and perspective. Stakeholder involvement in time management and planning, will better their correspondence, improve accuracy of information, increase credibility and acceptance findings and finally improve the quality road constructions projects in Kilifi County.

Transport infrastructure of the city affects the cadastral value of real estate. Transport accessibility of real estate affects the investment attractiveness of land. Transport accessibility increases the market value of the property. Modeling changes in the market value of real estate is an urgent task. Increasing the cadastral value of real estate and tax payments forms a model of investment in transport infrastructure. The article describes an example of modeling the increase in the price of land near the Central bridge of the city of Novosibirsk. The construction of the Central bridge is planned in 2019–2022. The new bridge increases the value of real estate. The cost of land increases by 50–100 %. The scheme of location of price zones is made. The increasing coefficients in the range from 1 to 2 are determined. Investors are given information about the increase in the value of land after the construction of the bridge. The payback period of construction projects is calculated.

Niger Delta Basin

A good road network consists of a constant stretch of asphalt laid down for a smooth ride. The spot in the smooth ride on the pavement is commonly referred to as "pavement failure." Soil type, load bearing capacity of materials, zone of vulnerability, resistance to permeation, compressibility, shrinkage limit, and other details are frequently required in order to construct a very good and solid foundation for the planned bridge site. In Nigeria, numerous factors contribute to the failure of road construction projects. They are primarily insufficient research on subgrade and other pavement materials (sub-base and base courses) prior to the start of road projects; flawed engineering, including a poor drainage system and supervision throughout road construction; and shoddy workmanship that was superimposed with asphaltic concrete to improve strength. Within the Niger Delta basin, the study area is located between latitude 5.485°N and longitude 7.035°E. The Benin Formation underpins the study area. It is composed primarily of friable sands, conglomerates, very coarse sandstone, and isolated gravel units, as well as intercalation of Pliocene to Miocene shale/clay lenses. Natural Moisture Content (NMC), Linear Shrinkage (LS), Particle Size Distribution, and California Bearing Ratio were among the laboratory tests performed on samples collected at failed and stable sections of some selected road segments (CBR). When compared to the stable sections, the NMC along the failed sections was on the high side (ranging from 13.11 percent to 26.89 percent) (ranging from 11.11 percent to 16.40 percent). The majority of the tested soils passed the 0.075mm sieve with a percentage greater than the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing's maximum of 35% for subgrade materials. The maximum dry density (MDD) for the samples at failed and stable sections was 1550 kg/m3 to 1860 kg/m3; 1650 kg/m3 to 1980 kg/m3; and the Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) was 8.30% to 20.30%. The soaked CBR values ranged from 2 to 17 percent, while the unsoaked values ranged from 4 to 25 percent.
