Have seen this happening in the Midwest (where I grew up). In some cases they don't replace the entire road -- they go through and will convert sections to gravel where the asphalt has degraded to the point where they can't economically repair it. So you'll have several hundred yards of gravel, then back to asphalt, then gravel, and so on.

Lots of chipseal these days, too...
