future political economies. There are disruptive and destabilizing processes through which roads

come to hold the promise of the change. These promises are the political integration, speed and

economic connectivity (Harvey & Knox pg 26). The obstruction of the engineering and politics

are the experimental trials to demarcate the capacity of the roads to bring the enhancement of
