He had his Persian provincial governors each build the section of the road within their province.
The Romans developed colonies and built roads in order to conquer more territory
They used a special tool called a GROMA which was made of two sticks with string and a lead weight which helped the Romans to see if the road was straight then they put 2 sticks in the ground to mark were to build the road. They then built the road with different layers one sand and one gravel and one stones they then smoothed it down.
It is not known how long it took for Darius the Great to have the Royal Road rebuilt. Considering that it was 2699 km (1667 miles) long and that it was of such good quality that it was still used by the Romans, this project must have taken years.
No, the ancient Romans did not build the first road system, but they built the best. There were many good roads in the area that today we call the Middle East, but the ancient Persian empire is generally credited with having the first road system. In fact the practical Romans borrowed an aspect from the Persian system which was the placing of milestones and having rest stations at certain points.
The A1 may follow a Roman road in part, but the Romans did not build it. The British built it.

The Romans.
Many of the roads in England are based on the Roman routes. The Fosse Way, from Exeter to Lincoln, Watling street in Kent, Ermine Street & many others. The A1 as it exists today obviously bears no relationship to a roman road, but it replicates the impotance of a major highway from York to London.
Ancient Romans met up with people from other towns and sent scouts to find nearby villages. This is how they knew where to build roads that would lead to these locations.
Rome developed their road system for troop movements, trade and communication.
