Yes, but the resources will vanish at the same rate, whether you use it or not. As long as it's hooked to a city, it has a chance of disappearing. It will reappear someplace else anyway, so build nukes while you can!!!

Also, it is easy to check the rate of disappearance that is set by default.
Just go to the Editor and check it v/s the rate of disappearance of other resources (iron, coal, etc.)

Has anyone figured out if the mere presence of a road makes exhaustion possible, or does the road need to be connected to a city? In other words, if you disconnect a resource from a city to try to "save" it, do you need to pillage the road ON the resource, or just any road that leads to it?

I am not sure whether the presence of a road makes the resource disappear. I did have once an unexploited iron resource disappear, and reappear in a roaded tile.

Resources disappear at random times and have been known to bug people too. But while the resource lasts, try to utilize it as best as possible, maybe even capture more of the same resouce while you're at it, and then maybe it might last longer.
It's not really on the subject exactly. But it's about uranium.
I have a story. And need to tell someone about it. For some reason.
Ok, I had uranium. In fact I had ample numbers of every resource due to the conquest of England, I think I needed the oil. Well actually I wanted their land, but also I needed their oil, so that was another good reason.
But anyhoo, I started selling uranium to China, thinking it'd be a good idea to get money from unused resources. But that was a big mistake.
I was in a war with India. A MUCH weaker nation on a small island to the east of mine. Despite this, they still managed to resist me for quite some time and only now have I got half their island and taking the rest is just a formality.
Then they make an alliance against me with.... China
they were one of the only 2 countries who could kick my ass, the other being America, which I found out when I ended up in a war with them as a result of my world war causing war with India.
So then I realise I have ICBMs
. I make some alliances with the Aztecs so they don't declare war on me and I nuke China. No one declares war on me but because I sold them uranium they have 3 ICBMs
.
So I had to reload and eventually make peace
.
The moral of the story is: NEVER sell uranium. EVER.
Now all I need is the strategic missile defense, and I can nuke China .
