Introduction
Industry taking the longer route.
In recent times, the average distance traveled by vehicles has been growing at a faster rate than road capacity in metropolitan areas. Congestion is affecting Americas ability to compete globally, since the majority of goods and products shipped in the U.S. are transported on its highways, while the time lost reduces economic productivity and results in higher product costs for consumers. Despite this, the value of maintenance and repair activity on existing roads will exceed the pace of new highway and street construction.
