All highways are roads, but not all roads are Highways. Highways are numbered routes, designed to carry more traffic, greater distances with more controlled access points (driveways or side streets). Highways are typically under jurisdiction of each state. “Roads” usually have more driveway access points per mile, don't cover as much distance, and are under local (city or county) jurisdiction.

Explanation:
'Proyectos' may well translate as 'projects', but I'd check with the writer before using 'housing projects'. Is the writer talking about public housing? If not, and the target readership is in the US, I'd use an alternative, like schemes, plans, or developments.

Wikipedia
More than 1.2 million households currently live in public housing of some type... Subsidized apartment buildings, often referred to as housing projects...
