410.25km of new roads developed,
167.7 km rehabilitated, 61 bridges and interchanges
constructed, 617.77km of pedestrian
walkways constructed, 1073km put under periodic
maintenance and 12,406km of roads under
routine maintenance (an average of 1,322km annually).

KURA’s Planned Targets
The planned Measurable targets core to the mandate of KURA in the Strategic Plan 2018-2022 include the following
• Design 2000km of new roads and 20 No. bridges• Construction of new strategic footpaths-500kms• Construction of 300km of new urban streets/roads• Construct 50 No. bridges• Routine maintenance of 1500km of roads annually• Rehabilitate 300km of existing roads • Periodic maintenance of over 2250km of existing roads annually• Construction of 3 No. Urban Junction Interchanges• Construction of 2 No. BRT routes in Nairobi City• Construction of a viaduct across Nairobi Railway Station• Extend the enforcement of the axle load compliance in all the
municipalities
Roads Planning and Development Project Cycle
Area of Opportunities for Planners input
Auxiliary Project Cost

Challenges Experienced during road development due to Planning Issues
10
Encroachments by traders due to lack of Markets =[Need for RAP]
Illegal Allocation on Road Truncations = [ Need for Demolition/ enforcement/Revocations of Title
Utility Services Lying on road Construction Space= [Need for Service Relocation]
Narrow Corridors= [Need for Land Acquisition]
Project Identification and Preparation
1.The Vision 2030 and The “Big Four” Agenda2.Integrated Urban Development Plans3.Transport Master Plan4.Project Feasibility Studies and Detail Designs;
Deliverables that requires the input of Planners are:
i. Land Acquisition Plansii. Resettlement Action Plansiii. Utility Relocation Plan [Power, Water and Sewer, Fibre e.t.c]iv. Land Use Plans along the corridor • Yet only the Engineer [Highway, Structural, Material], Transport Economist, Sociologist,
Environmentalist, Surveyor and Hydrologist ordinarily are involved.
Implementation and
Monitoring
Development Control along the
Major Transport Corridors• Change of Use
• Extension of leases
• Subdivisions and Amalgamations
• Building Approvals
Traffic Impact Assessments [TIAs]-Currently The studies are done by transport engineers without Planner’s input…

COMMUTER'S MODES OF TRANSPORT IN NAIROBI
Other Areas of Opportunities
1. Urban Street Design Standards
Our Responses towards inclusive access
15
KURA ensures that these Key Design principles are observed when designing for access and movement within urban spaces
2. Road safety Plans/Audits
16
Road safety Plans to guide the installation of road furniture
3. Congestion on most of the Urban Roads in Kenya
Application of IT on Transportation
18
Integrated Systems in which information and communication technologies are applied, in among others;
Road transport, includingtransport infrastructure,in transport vehicles andusers,
Traffic management andmobility management atnodal and network level,
Interfaces with othermodes of transport e.g.BRT and railway
E-Police cameras to record violations

Section of Outer Ring Road showing space left out for future BRT lanes
Proposed Bus Rapid Transit routes
KURA has initiated a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) concept and design in Kenya with Feasibility studies and Engineering Designs of Lines 3, 4 and 5 at advance stages in collaboration with development partners and other Government Agencies.
Proposed Viaduct Over Nairobi Railways Station
21
Study Stage: Preliminary level Study Area: CBD and periphery
of CBD as per the NIUPLAN concept
Higher Plan: 2 metropolitan development projects namely “NaMSIP and NIUPLAN”.
Purpose: To improve accessibility to the CBD plus surrounding area and decongestion
Necessary Harmonization: The Viaduct project and ongoing NaMSIP projects i.e Green mall project (to avoid overlap of the projects)
Challenges: coordination with affected facilities (KRC Properties, Bus Terminal ( in front of railway station), MoiAvenue Parking Lot, NCC Market (Wakulima Market), etc.)

Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Maintain and Transfer of Nyali Bridge II PPP Contract, for: New 600m Bridge
across Tudor Creek, Mombasa; together with − 1.7km New Roads − Expansion of 5km of existing roads on a 30 Year Contract, with an Availability Based Payment Mechanism
