I can’t read the article, but previous articles I have read on the subject indicated that the road authorities who evaluated the tech never found it suitable to install on a public roadway to begin with. Besides the durability/maintenance issues, it also had lower friction than a normal road surface. I think one here in the US gave it a trial run as a sidewalk and even that use was a failure when the freeze and thaw cycle of the ground broke them.
Something about this story is not quite right, at least the way it was reported in English language media.
