Abstract

The construction of the Western Bypass Road in Gusau, Zamfara State, is a crucial infrastructure project aimed at reducing traffic congestion, improving mobility, and supporting socio-economic development. This research examines the impact of project management practices on the implementation and success of the road construction project, focusing on planning, execution, monitoring, control, and challenges faced throughout the project life cycle. Findings show that effective planning, feasibility studies, risk assessment, and stakeholder involvement significantly contributed to the project’s smooth execution. Despite challenges such as land acquisition and funding limitations, project management tools ensured better timelines and reduced cost overruns. The study concludes that modern project management techniques played a key role in the project’s success.
