LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF ROAD: A PILOT STUDY FOR INVENTORY ANALYSIS. SECOND REVISED EDITION

In co-operation with the Swedish National Road Administration, the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL) has performed a basic life cycle assessment covering the inventory part for road construction, road maintenance and road operation. The complete life cycle of a road has been studied including the extraction of raw materials, the production of construction products, the construction process, the maintenance and operation of the road and finally the disposal/reuse of the road at the end of the life cycle (end of the analysed time period). The contribution from traffic during the same time period is not included in the study. However, as a brief comparison, the contribution from the traffic has been roughly calculated and compared with the road system. The report is available in full text on the internet: http://www.ivl.se/rapporter/pdf/B1210E.pdf.
