    After 3 and a half years another 32 million needed this year and some next year.

    The western world has been building roadways for some considerable time.
    Seems that the QA was not on site.

    This all seems very odd to me. Why did we accept an incomplete road?

    Maybe the Roman legions should have built it . They have lasted 2000
    years not 3 years.

    Those Roman Roads are mostly not in use now and never carried anything
    heavier that a 2-person chariot.

    Technically true, but many of those old Roman road routes are actually
    still in use, just now paved over with more modern roads.

    Very little actually lasts long these days. Two of the many reasons are products being rushed out with little actual testing, and simply
    today's "throw away" society where fools change their mobile phone,
    car, etc more often than their underwear. :-\
