The roads in the subdivision (or compound) that the IU residences are part of are being reconstructed. They were made of chunky rocks as a base and then just packed with the red Kenyan dirt that is everywhere. Now the rocks have been dug up and the dirt has been tamped with a steam roller (dry, without steam). The rocks have been re-set on one lane and now smaller gravel has been dumped and spread on the large rocks and the roller has packed it all in. Soon traffic will drive on this side while the same work proceeds on the opposite side. The guards tell me that it will all get topped with a layer of asphalt. Hopefully I can report in February that it is complete. Heck, maybe by February the fiber optic cables will be installed on the main road, too...
