I don't understand how mowing along roadsides can help spread invasive species... unless it's that seeds are transported in/on cars accidentally and then the mowing blows them into the grassy area where they can root after they fall off the car. I would think that would be countered by mowing down the plant before it could set seed...?
In Pewaukee there's a park along the river (behind the businesses that front on the beach) where they've set up a loosestrife control area (among other things). I'm not familiar with the specific methods they're using, but it's interesting to visit once a month or so just to see how much and in what ways the area has changed.
It's a shame there's not more funding to expand and preserve areas like that.
