Although that may be more consistent *once* the road has been dug up,
this particular road is still in use at the moment; in that case
what should (if any) additional tags be applied to the road?<br><br>

Just use the note= tag to make a note for yourself or future mappers or
the description= tag for interesting pop-up info to be displayed in
future versions of the slippy map?? It sounds as if the road is
just a regular road at the moment.<br><br>
Beyond doing that and digressing slightly, it sounds rather a case of
historical mapping where we'd start tagging features with things like
date_appears= date_disappears= and could then render out time-based maps
accordingly. ... but I think we have enough on our plate with
mapping things as they are right now to handle that for a couple of years
or so!<br><br>
