By the time it makes economic sense it'll be too expensive to do. Look at the way they do interstates, etc already. By the time everything is planned out and construction is completed the road is usually too small for the amount of traffic it will be required to carry. At that point in time the already overbudget project now costs ten times as much to go back and redesign, and redo when it should have been done right to begin with........
I saw a bridge build about 4 miles from my house some years ago on a Federal grant. Long story short because it was Federal they couldn't change the old bridge more than 10%. So they had to build a temporary bridge (It fixed some problems with the existing bridge and was a really nice structure by the way). Then they went in and tore the old bridge out, and rebuilt it back as close to origional as possible, still with a really sharp curve coming off of it, etc, etc, etc. Basically no better than it was before, just new. Then they went in and tore temporary bridge, which was built as good as the old one, and again fixed problems with the approach and egress from the old bridge, and tore it out. Then they gave away all of the thousands of yards of fill material that they had to use to build the temporaty structure. In the end they built the bridge twice, all because it was Federal money.............
So, we can waste money on projects like that, but not on something that might just be worthwhile. Again, such is the sorry state this country is currently in.
