7.5 years. LOL.

There was (is?) a system we (the UK) used to build roads which was
supposedly cheaper. As I recall, they put in the 'base layers' and
then a 'top coat' (or coats). The idea was, provided the top coats
were renewed every x years (x was quite small, I think 5-10 at most)
the road would last for ever.

Needless to say, the top coats weren't replaced in many cases, so the
base layers got damaged, and the whole idea flopped. Whether it would
have worked if applied correctly is open to debate.

Certainly, I can think of (main) roads that seemed never to need
repair but weren't made of tarmac - but they were darn noisy to drive
on, a combination of the joints between the concrete (or concrete
like) slabs and the ridges on the slabs.


Have you done the SW section of the M25 recently?

No, not been down South (other than by train) for a good few years now.
I changed jobs and stopped travelling all over the country.

There is a section of concrete MWay there that is just a bit noisy when
doing 70MPH but when the traffic slows down to 20MPH the gaps between
the concrete section shake the van.
