Don’t forget, the National Highway System wasn;t about civilian transportation. Those massive upgrades including new bridges are about getting 72 ton tanks and other vehicles down the roads.

Forget it. Tanks are transported by rail or at best by flatbed truck. You don't run tracked vehicles over hundreds of miles of pavement. They fall apart. Read up on the problems of the Das Reich SS Panzer division responding to the D-Day invasion, when French resistance sabotaged all the flatbed cars of the railways in Southern France. Not that much has changed. .
