Especially if you consider the state in which some infrastructure is around the world. I'm impressed to see the occasional aqueduct from 2000 years ago in Europe, but i also see the occasional modern bridge collapsing in the same country (https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/feb/26/what-caused-t...). From what I've heard and seen, infrastructure in the US (roads, bridges) isn't exactly the example for "build once, use for thousands of years".

And that's not even considering how many of those road or bridge building projects really are in time and budget.
