I would be curious if this is somehow related to passing more spending responsibility to the states and local governments.  I would also expect that it reflects the completion of the Interstate Highway System.  But I think it does indicate that we have been investing less in our infrastructure, while still running record deficits, and now, those dollars don't go as far as they used to, as asphalt and concrete costs have increased dramatically.
