Northern Parkway was expanded to six lanes in that area in the 60s/70s, around the same time the JFX was being built. So yes, it's definitely been repaved. Has it been repaved since the 2007 Google Street View photo? No. Unless you are walking on cobblestone or brick in Baltimore, it's been repaved at some point in its history. Asphalt roads have a lifespan of 15-20 years and nearly twice that for concrete.

Is it asphalt though? It’s like this weird tan pavement. It isn’t like other roads on the hill between Roland and Falls.

It's concrete. This section of Northern Parkway was assessed by the city last year. (See Page 25)
