Sure you can thank the LAW for better roads and an improved road network throughout the U.S. if it makes you feel good.
For the actual building of roads, you might thank the general public and business concerns who let their representatives know that they wanted better roads and better surfaces on which to drive their motor vehicles and/or get products to market.
