Abstract:

This short paper offers some preliminary information about the work on adaptation to climate change currently being carried out by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.”Climate and Transport”, a 4-year Research and Development (R&D) program initiated in 2007, addresses all the topics considered to be important for effective adaptation of planning, design, operation and maintenance of roads under changed climate conditions. The program consists of seven projects, the results of which will be formulated as amendments to Road Administration manuals and projects on the road network demonstrating necessary action for adaptation to climate change.
