I do this if the road is leaving the alignment drastically, but if it's
just lanes closed (as is the case on US 412/I 244 in my neighborhood, I
just use access:lanes.  Pull the member relations for I 244 in Oklahoma for
suggested tagging.  I couldn't really do this with the I 44 construction
(or the Crossroads construction in Oklahoma City) because the alignment
changed substantially in both cases.

 Perhaps there is a tag to put on the open section to discourage use or
outing or something.
