Only post roads. And the language says “establish”, not fund and maintain.

1. If they're not funded and maintained then there's no reason to "establish" them.

2. The idea of constructing a road that would be used exclusively for the delivery of mail without access by any other user was unheard of -- even in the 1790s.

3. I don't have a problem with privately-owned roads, but there are major flaws in that whole concept and there's a good reason why many of the toll roads that have been sold off to private investors in the last decade have turned into financial disasters.
