Ah, I now checked and I see that you had not, as I expected first,
removed a way, but shortened it. To undo that (again in Potlatch, I
have no experience with JOSM):

1. Select (the remaining portion of) the road. To make that easier for
you, you can grab it through
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=40.8134&lon=-96.6341&zoom=14&way=14151711
2. Press the 'H' key
3. There will be a pop-up, one part of which is a list of all various
versions of that way (identified by date plus time and the user name
of the person who edited it)
4. Select the version before your one (in this case one by NE2, of March 15)
5. Press 'Revert'
6. Save your edit the normal way
