The paper presents some preliminary results of an on-going research aiming to assess expected impacts of climate change on road infrastructure planning, design and operation, as well as determining what measures could be considered and recommended to manage these potential impacts. Following an overview of the main parameters (temperatures and precipitation) characterizing expected climate change in the period of 2071–2100, the impacts on roads of high temperatures, freeze-thaw cycles, prolonged growing season, high intensity precipitation, wet conditions and flooding are studied. According to the author, the anticipated effects of climate change should be manageable with current, or slightly modified engineering practice and the materials available, possibly with adaptation. Recommendations are formulated concerning the adaptation process.
