In 2023, the length of roads inside built-up areas in the US stood at 1.9965 million kilometers. The forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a consistent year-on-year increase, from 2.0065 million kilometers in 2024 to 2.0461 million kilometers in 2028. This represents an annual growth rate of approximately 0.5% over the five-year period. The cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) suggests a sustained incremental increase.
Looking forward, trends to watch include technological advancements in road construction and urban development, which could either accelerate or moderate this growth. Additionally, shifts in population density and urban planning policies may influence future forecasts.
