The best option to complete the sentence is "despite". This is because "despite" is used to show that something happened or is true, even though there are difficulties or problems. In this case, it means that the new road was completed on time, even though there were difficulties involved. "Although" also shows contrast, but it is usually used to introduce a clause that contrasts with the main idea. "Besides" means "in addition to" and "however" is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with the previous statement.
