Road construction projects are challenging in technical, financial, and organizational aspects. The structure of a project’s logistic system, construction logistic management strategies and models of logistic services have a considerable impact on project costs and, finally, on project results. Based on literature survey and structured interviews with managers of Polish road projects, the paper investigates into logistic systems of road contractors to point to possible improvements of logistic tasks’ efficiency, and focuses on the construction stage. The key links in the logistic chains and key processes were described and main reasons for disruption in logistic flows were identified. The survey provided input for assessing possibilities, or the actual level, of implementing the concept of supply chain management (SCM) to road construction. Barriers to implementing SCM were discussed with respect to project delivery systems.
