Some of the roads were seriously damaged and required considerable repairs in order for travelers to move efficiently and safely.

 

As part of the government's effort to preserve national roadways, the government has released applications that citizens may use to report any damaged portions of the roads directly to the Ministry.

While this is true of any road system globally, the amount needed to keep the roads here serviceable, far outweighs the amount that would have been needed to build them properly, rather than on the cheap in the first place.

A lesson China learned the hard way in the 90's when it built its north and west corridors only to have to rebuild most of them before they even opened.

There may well have been enough allocated to do it right to start with, until sticky paws reduced the amount that actually reached the roads of course, and which probably still robs the maintenance fund.
