In the context of the need to modernize and develop the agricultural sector, the development of access roads for agricultural exploitation has become a goal without which progress can not be achieved. With the start of the National Rural Development Program, it was necessary to find solutions for the dimensioning the road structures for certain agricultural areas of Romania, so in this paper we carried out a punctual research for an agricultural road situated in the commune of Godinesti, Gorj County. The road sector covered by this paper originates in P1 (km 0 + 000) at the junction with the county road DJ 672 and the destination in P 23 (km 1 + 100). The length of the agricultural road sector is of 1.100,00 m. In which regards the existing situation of the analyzed road sector, following the visual inspection and geotechnical investigations, it is noted that the agricultural road sector does not correspond to the actual requirements imposed for the category of use. Based on topographical, geological, hydrogeological and seismological studies conducted over the years in the area, the were carried out the necessary calculations for the sizing of an elastic road construction (with asphaltic structure) that can be used by agricultural machinery of up to 7.5 t, and the project for its implementation was completed.
