Yes. But I would think less since that infrastructure has largely been in place for many decades. It’s not building something out from nothing but updating and maintaining something already in place
What a strange argument. For those effected by projects it does not matter how anything is connected to anything. That said, HSR does not need to be part of an HSR network to make sense.
New Highways are built all the time and many are widened, which also requires a lot of real estate to be taken over by highway infrastructure.
Are they also big challenges for highway projects?

So replace the highway with tracks
