Those links dont support your claim that building a road is cheaper than maintaining it.

- dijit 3y agoYes they do. Roads last longer than 1 year. Heck the annual budget for maintenance matches the current spend of building new roads on a yearly basis now: https://archive.curbed.com/2019/5/14/18622511/construction-highway-roads-infrastructure-week https://archive.curbed.com/2019/5/14/18622511/construction-h... The main issue here is that even if you take current spending into consideration, it's not really equivalent because roads are not being repaired at a required rate currently; they're being underinvested in and permitted to fall into worse conditions.
