This study used an explanatory research design that tries to understand a problem that has not been conclusively researched. This study collected both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected from 45 respondents in the management level using questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed by calculating the response rate with descriptive statistics such as means, median, standard deviation, and percentages using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 28. The analyzed data were presented by the use of graphs and frequency tables. The qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis where common themes were placed together and then subjected to descriptive statistics. The study revealed that Resource Risk Management Strategy had a positive significant effect on road construction project delivery at 95% confidence level(β=0.34,t(34)=2.47,p=0.019). This indicated a positive and statistically significant relationship between resource risk management strategy and road construction project delivery. The significant positive effect of resource risk management strategies on road construction project delivery highlights their value in managing construction risks. Road construction companies are therefore encouraged to institutionalize resource risk management practices such as early procurement, use of efficient machinery, and employee welfare policies to enhance schedule adherence and budget compliance. The current study therefore strongly recommends that policymakers for example KeNHA should develop and enforce laws and regulations governing resource risk management strategies to ensure that all road construction companies comply with established guidelines, thereby minimizing delays caused by clearance processes with relevant authorities.
