Addressing Road Problems in Olympic National Forest (WA)
posted January 18, 2003

The extensive road network in Olympic National Forest has deteriorated over the last few years with
the reduction in logging intensity and corresponding lack of routine maintenance. The road failures
have resulted in destruction of aquatic habitat and reduced access. Repair work and decommissioning
has begun with the introduction of a new road management plan in fall 2002.
