Original Note:
Roman roads have indeed lasted 2,000 years, but they were built to accommodate lighter loads, such as those from horses, carriages, and pedestrians, not 70,000lbs vehicles. Modern roads face much heavier demands. https://www.history.com/news/8-ways-roads-helped-rome-rule-the-ancient-world https://study.com/academy/lesson/building-ancient-roman-roads-history-facts-quiz.html https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-much-damage-do-heavy-trucks-do-our-roads https://highways.dot.gov/public-roads/mayjun-2009/exploring-vehicle-size-and-weight-solutions
