Engineers have been urged to design and build roads that address challenges brought about by the effects of climate change, including floods and drainage.
Principal Secretary for the State Department of Roads Joseph Mbugua observed that Kenya’s infrastructure and transport systems face challenges that require research-driven responses.
He highlighted challenges, including road safety, drainage failures, technological and performance gaps and the growing impacts of climate change.
He was addressing engineers, academia and transport industry players during the first Kenya Institute of Highways and Building Technology (KIHBT) international research conference at a Mombasa hotel recently.
