They have, MN (and most other states for that matter) just isn't willing to pay for it. They should do it right the first time so it lasts 20 years, not the typical 3 it seems to take for a new road to get full of cracks and holes after a few harsh winters. Hell, aren't certain stretches of the Autobahn still utilizing the original pavement?
Being down in Dallas I've grown to love toll roads. It costs me ~$3/day round-trip to/from work, but the tollways are always in much better repair and larger/wider compared to their state freeway counterparts.
