No kidding.

My point was if the roads already exist, how can they be a new, evil plot? Is a road good until you rename it a NAFTA highway?

To acommodate the expected increase in traffic, they'll have to retrofit all the existing roads.

Traffic is increasing whether roads are improved or not.

If Caltrans is any indication, this project will move at a snail's pace.

Are you saying government agencies move too slowly? I wonder if a private company could do things better, faster and cheaper?

I didn’t know they were using already existing roads when I embarked on this exercise in self torture. Frankly, I’d be more than pleased to see NAFTA dead and buried in unhallowed ground.

Yes, traffic is increasing. It’s tearing up the roads, causing unecessary accidents, and costing us a bundle. I don’t know if a private company could do a better job faster to keep up with road repair, but it’s a good bet they’d be faster than a government agency like Caltrans.
