Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.

    TBF US highways are undermaintained and a collapse could endanger lives.

    I’d rather have a railway expansion but we still gotta maintain whats been built.

          That is premised on the notion that the expansion that has happened until the present is sustainable.

            It is moreso premised on the notion that highways and concrete passes/bridges have been recieving far insufficient maintenance for many years at a time.

            I am not saying “replace every old road” I am just saying “keep important roads usable.”
