Is it possible to register attributes for parts of a line segment?

Question

I need to register information on when roads where paved in a road network. The problem is that the paved stretch does not always correspond with the segments making up the network. In other words, only parts of the road segment has been paved that specific year. I'd rather not change the length of the segments, so I was wondering if it is possible to register the information on parts of the segments? Is there any other ways of solving this?

I believe that is true only if you purchase Roads and Highways to have linear referencing online.  To answer Ragnhild Tveit , I handle pavement Inspection and resurfacing in house and collect the attributes by linear referencing.  The outside collectors and editors edit excel spreadsheets with the data I wish collect along with the route and begin milepost(BMP) and end milepost(EMP).  This data can be "Event Mapped" to the Linear Referenced Route and be managed as a Data table within your Database.

Here is a sample spreadsheet created from a Data Table in which I store the attributes...  All these cross multiple segments.
