description With the movement of the construction industry towards Construction 5.0, Digital Twin (DT) has emerged in recent years as a pivotal and comprehensive management tool for predictive strategies for infrastructure assets. However, its effective adoption and conceptual implementation remain limited in this domain. Current review works focused on applications and potentials of DT in general infrastructures. This review focuses on interpreting DT’s conceptual foundation in the flexible pavement asset context, including core components, considerations, and methodologies. Existing pavement DT implementations are evaluated to uncover their strengths, limitations, and potential for improvement. Based on a systematic review, this study proposes a comprehensive cognitive DT framework for pavement management. It explores the extent of enhanced decision-making and a large-scale collaborative DT environment. This study also identifies current and emerging challenges and enablers, as well as highlights future research directions to advance DT implementation and support its alignment with the transformative goals of Construction 5.0.
