a) A heavily used arterial road in Machakos County passes through a number of villages, causing environmental damage and safety problems. It's planned to reconstruct the road on a new alignment over a length of 20km by-passing the villages. Describe and discuss 5 factors that should be taken into account when choosing the location for the new route. b) Discuss potential NEGATIVE effects of road construction during the construction and operation phases. How can these impacts be mitigated?
