The forest roads provide access to forest resources in carrying out main forestry activities such as
protection, afforestation, management, recreation and firefighting. Long-term, trouble-free and safe use
of forest roads is possible through the construction of the drainage structures and walls along the road
alignment. The drainage structures and protective structures used in forest roads are various types. These
are dip drains, pipes, culverts, bridges, water-bars and walls. The main task of all drainage structures
and walls is protecting the forest roads against external aggressors. In this study, drainage structures on
a sample road were investigated. Along the forest road alignment, changes of drainage structures over
10 years were observed. As a result of the study, current conditions of drainage structures were revealed
and various suggestions were presented.
