Yeah I suppose so, here in Vancouver they've been replacing water and sewage pipes from the 1910s/1920s for the past decade.

Sometimes major infrastructure is a bitch to replace, and it's just best to use it until you have no choice.

For sure, there's some streets in the older parts of the city where the brick is showing through the asphalt, but since it's still perfectly drivable if a bit bumpy, no plans to repave it. Also a couple streets where you can tell it used to be part of a streetcar route, even though the last streetcar ran in 1955.
