dc.description.abstractThe COVID-19 movement control measures severely impacted the performance of infrastructure projects, including the Nairobi Expressway project in Kenya, by causing delays, increased costs, shortages of labor and materials, and halting or suspending key projects, ultimately hindering economic growth. This study sought to understand how COVID-19 movement control measures affected performance of infrastructure projects, particularly the Moja Expressway, and to provide insights that could guide future strategies for mitigating similar disruptions in the sector. The purpose of this research was to establish the effect of COVID-19 movement control measures on the performance of infrastructure projects in Kenya specifically, the Moja Expressway project. The objectives of this study were to: determine the COVID-19 movement control measures implemented during the construction of the Moja Expressway project, assess the performance of the Moja Expressway project during the COVID- 19 pandemic and evaluate the effect of COVID-19 movement control measures on the performance of the Moja Expressway project. The study was guided by the Triple Constraints, Infrastructure-led Development and Institutional Theories. A descriptive research design was adopted in this study through questionnaires and a census was done on 30 employees at Cale Infrastructure Construction Company. A pretest of 6 respondents from H. Young & Company (EA) Limited was also done, with a Cronbach alpha derived. Data cleaning was done, and information was entered into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, v.26) software for processing. Descriptive statistics including frequency, numbers and percentages are used to present the data and the Pearson’s Coefficient Formula is used for correlation analysis. Questionnaires were administered to all 30 employees, with 24 questionnaires brought back. Data was analyzed, with findings revealing that (75%) of respondents, agreed that the COVID-19 movement control measures negatively affected the performance of the Moja Expressway project. This research recommends that construction companies need to be prepared in case of a future pandemic, to reduce negative effects on ongoing projects. Further studies need to be done on other ongoing mega- construction projects during the pandemic and how their performance was affected.
