Abstract: Numerous factors, all connected to an organizational system, can contribute to a project's failure. These include improperly setting objectives, inadequate project plans, numerous changes, and insufficient control measures, among other things. Projects frequently fail because of a lack of skills or subpar implementation due to poor performance. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of communication on implementation of roads construction projects by Kenya Urban Roads Authority in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The type of research design that was used in this study was descriptive research design. The target population in this study was 5 projects being implemented by KURA from the year 2018 to 2022. The target respondents consisted of 75 respondents including 5 Project Managers and 70 Project Team members. A sample of 75 respondents formed the sample size of the study. Primary data collection was through questionnaires which were sent to all sampled respondents. Validity of the tool was measured through content, criteria and construct validity testing. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using the Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (i.e. mean and standard deviation) and presented in tables. The study used inferential statistics, i.e. correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, to identify the relationship between variables. According to the study, communication had a considerable positive impact on the Kenya Urban Roads Authority's road development projects in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The study concluded that efficient communication is critical to project management since it allows projects to progress smoothly and on time. The study suggests that for efficient communication during project implementation, the organization should be aware of its team's location, its members' origins, whether or not they have taken any personality tests, and the kind of resource each team member is.
