Monitoring Report for 4 Low Volume Sealed Roads in Kenya, Final Report
As part of this project, trial sections have been constructed on roads in various locations in Kenya for research purposes.
Abstract
AfCAP has been asked by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MoTI) through the Materials Testing and Research Department (MTRD) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), to support research on utilization of non-standard materials for Low Volume Sealed Road (LVSR) pavements. As part of this process trial sections have been constructed on roads in various locations in Kenya for research purposes. The first monitoring round was conducted on 4 road sections. The surfacing of the roads showed varied performance. The roads also behaved differently in as far as rutting is concerned. Traffic experienced in all the roads was varied as well from previous survey. However, this could be attributed to the political activities during the time of the survey
This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
