Done properly, yes. Just look how much concrete is around the cities. How
many 50 and 100 year old sidewalks are still in good shape?

I'm in NY where we have similar winters and I can't recall ever seeing
one. Actually what I see more of lately is 5 and 10 yr old concrete
falling apart or cracking.

You need the
proper base, metal screen, expansion joints and a good mix of the right
thickness for the job.

And a contractor who has an excellent reputation and who will stand
behind his work for a long time.
