The IRS didn't exist until 1862 (under a different name) and the income tax didn't exist until the Civil War. And it wasn't until 1895 that a peacetime income tax was passed where the revenue could conceivably be used to build roads and not just bullets and cannons.

I'm pretty sure roads - among every other public service/utility - existed prior to 1895.
