If private road builders can come up with enough cash to buy out private property owners without resorting to using the state’s imminent domain power, I don’t have a problem with this.

That's ludicrous. Lot's of privately financed transportation projects obtain rights of way through state eminent domain. Without eminent domain one holdout can extort tremendously higher prices. That isn't fair to the other land owners.

It is far better for the asset(road and land) to remain with the govt and lease it to the private sector.
That way, the govt can specify standards.
