In addition to the cracks that have developed / worsened, I also have a few places on my driveway where the surface crumbled. Any idea what kind of ball park figure we're looking at to get a driveway repaved? It's roughly 2 cars wide and 1-1/2 car lengths long.

It's the salt because I "strategically" poured salt like a path in areas on my driveway and walk ways that I know I will be using to access my garbage cans and other areas. And that's literally where all the damage is and only in those locations.
Unless I misunderstood your post and you're talking about it scientifically like it's not technically the salt, but the freeze cycles, etc, etc.
I'm just saying, it's my own dumbassness that ruined my driveway by using the salt, and could have been 100% avoidable...
That being said, it's not my first time using salt. Ironically, the front walkway and sidewalks are fine. The driveway in the back and walkways at the side of my house must use a different kind of concrete.
