5. Pocket tons of cash
6. Secure re-election
7. Build the road

1b – Use the stolen money to forcibly buy land, using eminent domain, for the road for some small fraction of the land value.
1c – Unless you or your buddies managed to buy up the land the road will be on beforehand. Then you buy it, with the stolen money, for some large multiple of whatever the land is worth.
1d – Sell valuable land near off-ramps, or wherever, (back) to yourself and your buddies for some small fraction of its actual value.
