Continuous Road Resurfacer?

They have I-74 torn up for 30+ miles between Bloomington and Peoria. With the way the state of Illinois does road work, I expect it to be done sometime in 2020.

I got to thinking, does anyone make a continuous road resurfacer? I'm thinking like a series of machines that can be trucked in and hooked up. The first one grinds up the road surface, the second one picks up the debris and grinds it up further, the third one heats up the ground up debris and injects tar, the fourth one lays down the newly rejuvenated road surface, and on the end is a steam roller the width of the road surface laid down. Seems like several miles could be done in a day this way rather that over months/years.
