Again, I probably wouldn't add that, until it has got a projected start 
date (and a budget!).  In the UK at least, local authorities often 
propose all sorts of pie-in-the-sky schemes for bypasses etc. for 
political reasons.  Until they've got funding it makes no sense to 
assume that they're going to happen.

To me it makes sense for something like HS2 phase 2*1 (the new high 
speed rail lines north of Birmingham) to be in OSM, despite the 
necessary act of parliament not having been passed yet*2, because there 
is funding and considerable political will behind it.  The Lincoln 
Eastern Bypass*3, not so much*4.

Cheers,

Andy
