The PIARC Strategic Plan 2020 – 2023 identified the issue of "Renewal and Rejuvenation of Aging Infrastructure" as a priority for this cycle and allocated it to the Technical Committee 3.3 Asset Management. To address this, a Working Group was established in 2020 to identify best practices and approaches that support the renewal and modernisation of aging road infrastructure and management of road renewal backlogs. The Working Group represents a broad mix of road administrations, covering various types of networks, climates and geographic regions, with members from Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, UK and USA.
