| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the circumstances and drivers that influence assessment of selected highway maintenance project performance with prior analysis on the causes of highways deterioration. Roads are the most important assets in any country, so keeping them in good condition is obviously critical for economic development. Afield survey research design was used on samples of three major highways and seventy-eight target respondents all in Imo State Nigeria. The instrument of questionnaire modeled in Likert five-point scale was used for data collection and measurement. A total of 18 causative factors of highways deteriorationand6success determinants for the maintenance were identified. The opinions and perceptions of experts who are conversant with highway maintenance projects performance were obtained based on the identified factors. The methods of data analysis were the relative Severity Index (RSI) for causes of deterioration sand multiple regression and correlation analysis for evaluation of determinants and drivers to assessment of selected highway maintenance project performance. The results and findings from RSI indicate that lack of drainage system and underground water, poor quality of; design, construction and maintenance materials are the severest factors for highway impairment. The results of the regression analysis indicate high correlation coefficient of 88.50%. The determinants and drivers to assessment of selected highway maintenance project performance in significant ranking order are: funding level and policy, degree of physical resources, capacity of construction technology etc. Based on the conclusion, sufficient annual budgetary provision should be captured for highway maintenance projects performance considering its economic importance. FERMA should explore more decisive technical capabilities for efficient utilization of resources for timely completion, improved condition of roads, solidity and reliability of highway maintenance project performance in Imo State. | |
