I think one of the major aspects of Roman roads was indeed the maintenance of them for was there not a mention from Vindolanda how one of the local roads was in such a bad state of repair.
This is where we have to think was work needed on them a central government responsibility or did it become part of a local system for most of the major roads were for heavy movement of troops when needed.
