Abstract: It has been identified with proofs that disputes in highway projects have become a persistent structural challenge affecting the successful delivery of transport infrastructure projects worldwide. The study assesses the causes major causes of disputes in highway projects within Federal Capital Territory (FCT), assessing the influence of project management practices on the occurrence and escalation of disputes in highway project performance in FCT, Evaluating the influence of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms on highway project performance/determining their effectiveness in FCT and also proposes strategies for minimizing disputes and enhancing resolution on highway project performance within FCT. The methodology used for this study is descriptive survey research design complemented by a correlational analytical approach and the correlational aspect which allows the examination of relationships between dispute-related variables and highway project delivery outcomes. The findings suggest that disputes in FCT highway projects are not isolated operational failures but symptoms of systemic governance deficits. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening payment mechanisms, enforcing due process on variations, and establishing institutional continuity frameworks to insulate project implementation from political cycles.
