How come

the Romans can build roads and bridges that can last a thousand years Yet we can't build roads or bridges to last 10 years without major repairs needed. Surely someones head needs to roll for such an abject design fault and lack of foresight in not making this bridge strong enough. Or do these roadmakers and engineers see the roading industry as a cashcow. Maybe a politician could also answer this with this being election year
