The Second Highway Sector Project will help finance the last four years of the Government's Fifth Highway Sector Plan (FY1984-88). The main objectives of the project are to assist the Government to reduce transport costs and to strengthen the Ministry of Transport and Communications in the areas of highway administration and plan implementation. These objectives will be achieved through: (a) improving the maintenance of the existing road network; (b) strengthening and upgrading priority roads; (c) improving highway planning and administration; (d) enforcing appropriate vehicle axle load regulations; (e) developing the domestic road construction industry; (f) instituting appropriate user charges for various vehicle categories; and (g) improving the modal distribution of traffic along Kenya's main transport corridor.
