Hay hay: I missed perhaps the most significant part of your post about the lack of new highways.
When I was young, new highways, state, federal and IS were being built regularly. One could not drive far before running into a construction site for a new road.
Sadly, government now spends most of its money to pay people to not work for one reason or another (AKA, vote buying) so there is no money for new infrastructure. It has become difficult to find enough money to maintain our existing infrastructure.

Don't even get me started on the subject of railroads and the shift from railroads to highway freight transportation resulting in FAR more OTR truck freight than was once the case.
All of this can be traced to progressive governmental policies but this is not the place for such history lessons.
