By the 1500s, the Silver Trade Roads began to go into a serious state of disrepair due to the increase in traffic by new technologies and industries. In the 1590s, a revitalization of the roadways was planned, but lacked necessary funding and was put to a halt during the Grand War. The poor road systems during the war put a stress on the transfer of resources throughout the country and debates were held on whether or not to divert funding to the roads, but the consensus was that the funding was needed elsewhere. | By the 1500s, the Silver Trade Roads began to go into a serious state of disrepair due to the increase in traffic by new technologies and industries.
