No, I don't think so - I wouldn't know where, there was a war in between, and Fritz didn't invest much in roads anyway, focused more on waterways. FW had the main southern route ("Königsweg") built in 1730 and there weren't many changes after that, until FWII invested in the "Berlin-Potsdamer-Chaussee", which was built between 1788 and 1795. Since Arnim wrote the anecdotes in 1814, I believe that's probably the main change he's referring to as a comparison - the middle part was the same as before, just way better, but I guess it shortened the leg between Potsdam and Zehlendorf, so you probably end up with closer to three miles one-way, where it was closer to four miles before.
