Zusammenfassung: 
This paper builds on a previous paper by the authors (Kornfeld and Fraumeni, 2022) that primarily used U.S. Federal Highway Administration Highway Statistics data to disaggregate investment in highways and streets into more detailed types to produce updated estimates of net wealth stocks and depreciation. Major components of highways and streets other than pavement: grading, bridges and other structures, traffic management, safety, and environmental, are set equal to comprehensive revision updated versions of those derived in the earlier paper. All capital outlays are controlled to current BEA estimates. The engineering-based depreciation patterns are very dissimilar to the BEA patterns. The engineering-based net wealth pavement stock depreciation patterns fall from an efficiency level of about 0.055 to zero after 20 years of life; the BEA Hulten-Wykoff-based net wealth pavement stock depreciation patterns are at approximately the same efficiency level after 62 years. BEA adopted Hulten-Wykoff default depreciation rates in the absence of other information (Fraumeni, 1997). Engineering-based pavement depreciation rates for highways and streets were generated by Picher (Fraumeni, 1999, 2007).
