Nearly all new roads are built at least partially on private lands.
And if the land is condemned, is it for public use? Or for foreign corporations private gain? I bid you to review Kelo vs New London and tell me how constitutional you think it was.

Transportation rights of way have always involved the use of eminent domain even when it was private companies building the roads or railroads. Transportation is a public use even if the operator of the road is a private corporation.

The fact that some companies will make use of the road hardly makes their use exclusive or anything resembling the Kelo scenario.
I guess you're okay with new roads so long as no companies use them?
Or are you against all new roads?
