I guess it predates the Shiny one?

In our case the toll highway was built with private funds but under a public
overseer. I've heard a lot of complaints about the stretch of highway (
Highway #407 if anyone cares) but poor maintenance isn't one of them.
Usually the opposite - drivers cursing because a few lanes are closed on
weekends for road work.

I'm also not sure if the private company is afraid they'll lose their
license or else they want to extend their approach to other highways.

All I can say is that it was built in record time and it's not all that
heavily travelled as many people like me are willing to sit in traffic on
the adjacent roads to avoid paying the tolls.

We have private toll roads here in the U.S. and they are the very worst 
roads in the nation!  When we were hauling and showing horses, I had maps 
that showed how to avoid them.  I really can't see paying to drive on a road

that would come near to ruining the shocks on my truck!
