This should be an incredible value in months to come. It's a no brainer to consider this a decent investment choice.

"In the past year, 8.26 million motor vehicles were added to China's road, a 5.17% increase. By comparison, between 2005 and 2006, the number of motor vehicles on US roads increased by 1.38%."

"Since 1951, while India's urban population increased 4.6 times, vehicle numbers have increased 158 times. Cities are also struggling to keep pace with infrastructure demands, as ever expanding roads fill up with growing traffic. Over 20 per cent of Delhi is under roads but congestion is increasing and today, the city could end up losing all the gains of its CNG conversion because of the exponential growth of private vehicles. Delhi, like Bangalore, adds roughly 1,000 vehicles each day on its roads."

As both of these cultures shifts from the bicycle to the automobile, they will need highways, bridges, parking structures, etc.

As far as the USA is concerned, President elect Obama has mentioned focussing budget on US infrastructure if elected

"Earlier this week, Presidential candidate Barack Obama may have helped transportation infrastructure become a critical issue leading up to this November’s election, when he called for the establishment of a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank that would invest $60 billion over a ten year period for highways, technology, and other projects." Obama proposed this concept as a component of his $210 billion economic stimulus package, when he made an economic policy address at a GE Assembly Plant on Wednesday.“For our economy, our safety, and our workers, we have to rebuild America,” said Obama. “This investment will multiply into almost half a trillion dollars of infrastructure spending and generate nearly two million new jobs—many of them in the construction industry that’s been hit hard by the housing crisis.”
