This book highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of LCA in pavements, bridges, and roadways, as presented by leading international researchers at the 6th International Symposium on Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment (ISPRB LCA2024), held in Arlington, VA, USA, on June 6–8, 2024. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning assessment of environmental impacts of pavements, bridges, and roadways, including environmental product declarations (EPDs) and use of life cycle assessment (LCA) in design, data, and case studies: LCA methodologies for transportation infrastructure, durability and service life assessments, maintenance strategies to enhance performance and minimize environmental impacts, evaluating the environmental impacts of materials and construction, recycling and reuse of materials, carbonation of concrete, pavement vehicle interaction, life cycle thinking in climate change planning, and climate change mitigation. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.

An increasing number of government agencies, academic institutes, and industrial organizations are embracing the principles of sustainability in managing their activities. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an approach developed to provide decision support regarding the environmental impact of industrial processes and products.  LCA is a field with ongoing research, development and improvement and is being implemented world-wide, particularly in the areas of pavement, roadways, and bridges. The Proceedings of Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment contain contributions to the International Symposium on Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment 2024 (Arlington, VA, USA, June 6-8, 2024) covering research and practical issues related to pavement, roadway and bridge LCA, including data and tools, asset management, materials, environmental product declarations, structure types, procurement, planning, vehicle interaction, and construction.

Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment Proceedings will be of interest to researchers, professionals, and policy-makers in academia, industry, and government who are interested in the sustainability of pavements, roadways, and bridges.
