Sort of except that broken bridges can be fixed.

And russoto's point is graphically illustrated in Northern VA where instead of fixing some severe traffic choke points that would alleviate a lot of rush hour backups (simple ones like widening various exit ramps), they can't piss enough money away on Metro. Its so messed up you just couldn't believe someone isn't making it up.
