Ghealdan overall is just in a bad position to the point where a road to the Two Rivers might not help much - the Two Rivers are so remote from most of Andor that not much help would be gained by building a road there unless Elayne reinforces the roads with more guard towers and patrols.
And the Mountains of Mist forms a natural bulwark on at least one side, so Ghealdan is really looking at threats along the southern edges of their borders.
If the Seanchan were to use force than Ghealdan would be toast. If on the other hand some sort of truce were to be signed, Ghealdan would be able to survive as long as it wasn't isolated. The Seanchan could restrict trade and movement out of Ghealdan making their continued independence difficult. The way for Ghealdan to alleviate that possibility would be for them to build a road north to the Two Rivers.
All good things come to those who wait.

I wonder if they'll realize they can use their explosives for road work... *NM*

I think his point is that road goes through Seachan held northern Altara. *NM*

Only if they stay on a southern course. Altara is actually farther south.

I think you are incorrect, but not b/c of map - because of what the projection of force would need

I said the road goes through northern Altara, and you disagreed, claiming Altara was further south.

Yes - I said Altara is effectively south as they don't control or patrol most of their lands.

A road north would be useless at this point.
