Does anyone have any information (with source) on the useful life of roadway and utility systems (one source I found has road useful life as 20 years for example).

RE: Useful Life of Roads and Utilities
We had Build Roads in Emirates and the roads build in 1975 still stands intact except few Potholes here and there caused by services departments digging and repairing.
Generally a Guaranteed life of 10 Years is generally expected, If the work is executed sincerely and taking care of all the specification requirement and selecting good material, and proper Mix design done with quality of construction then Roads can still be used for 30 years. We always take good care of Mix, and quality of work and even tested for refusal for 700 Blows. In 92 we resurfaced about 85 KMs of road, which was over 20 years old, and it is now performing very well and expected to give good service at least for another 6 to 10 years.
