Highways require significant ongoing maintenance - I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the cost of maintenance over the lifetime of the road exceeds the cost to build it in the first place. Particularly if the country in question relies heavily on road freight.
- bombcar 3y agoDepends on how you define “lifetime” - roads last a long time (and if it’s heavily used, it’s clearly worthwhile).
- panick21_ 3y agoIf this highway is so 'heavily used' then there is clearly enough population around that asking for a bus isn't that big of a deal. You act like I asked for high speed rail connections ever 15min to some remote village northern BC. We are talking about 200km distance from Vancouver, the major city in Western Canada.
