because the REALITY in Developing/Under Developed World, which is unfortunately still stuck with a largely corrupt, unimaginative, lethargic & inefficient Political & Admin System - is that ALONG with the ROAD, its Traffic, Pollution & Stops COMES Human Developments, Outlawed or not, oft starting with shanties. Furthermore the Highway Contract/s itself would invariably involve corruption, percentages, commissions, patronage to the favored few, thus also tempting to implement, regardless of the negative consequences for the environmental & her wildlife.
Additionally, the temptations of the Highway project for the corrupt includes promise of future regular Illegal earnings for all those involved, from the politicians, the bureaucrats, the Forest officials, Police to their backers & cronies, front Companies - of the corrupt, and the families of all - via enabling-overlooking potentially vast Illegal, quasi Legal Human-Urbanized-Township & other related Developments all along th Highway. For instance these kind of corrupt practices happen very regularly all across India, where even the Supreme Court's intervention oft fails to stop this lust for easy money manifesting in countless illegal human developments, inc shanties, settlements, colonies, even many mining projects on grabbed Public Lands and Forests.
This is not Scandinavia, yet, i.e. it's a still largely lo income, with (due to) largely Corrupt Politico-Admin-Oversight SetUp, ask the people themselves.
