Factory jobs are a small fraction of the overall economy. Take the white collar cars off the road and you've freed up capacity. Then build roads for industrial purposes.
I do some work with blue collar industrial clients now and again as a favour. I work remote and contract out the various things I can't do remotely to an MSP or various local installers. A factory has an accounting department, it has managers pushing paper all day (although these usually can only be hybrid remote positions), that sort of thing.
You certainly need to build a freaking road to the facility and arrange for the transport of workers but honestly congestion on these roads isn't as much as an issue as disrepair and maintenance because of the heavy trucks driving across them. Talk to anybody running anything industrial and they want to hire some white collar people to automate some stuff to either cut labor costs or expand the business, hopefully the latter, and these people are likely to work hybrid.
I guess you are right and I should give more consideration to industrial uses of transportation infrastructure which are just as relevant as ever.
