Concrete roadways used to be a pretty big deal. They can last for 40 years, versus 10 for asphalt. In the long run that makes them cheaper, but governments tend not to like 40-year time horizons, so you do not see many these days. Where I live, there is a concrete road that sees very little traffic that is about a century old. It has a few rough spots but is still quite drivable.
