The problem
Sections of the ring road degrade badly in the rainy season, cutting travel times, damaging vehicles and restricting access to markets and health facilities.
Objectives
- Upgrade the existing ring road to an all-weather standard
- Construct drainage and culverts along vulnerable sections
- Improve road safety through signage, marking and lighting
- Reduce travel times between residential areas and the city centre
Project story
The ring road carries a large share of the city's daily movement. When it fails, everything downstream fails with it — traders miss market hours, patients miss appointments, and school attendance drops. This upgrade rebuilds the road surface, installs proper drainage and adds safety infrastructure so the route stays open year-round.

Social impact
Shorter, safer journeys to schools, clinics and markets; improved emergency vehicle access to neighbourhoods along the corridor.
Environmental impact
Improved drainage reduces standing water and erosion. Dust suppression during works and spoil management are covered in the environmental plan.
Risks and mitigation
Rainy-season delays
Sequence earthworks ahead of peak rainfall and stage drainage works first
Material price volatility
Framework supply agreements and contingency line in the budget
Utility conflicts
Joint survey with utility providers before excavation
