That would also work, although causeway implies that the roadway is raised higher than the terrain to either side of the roadway, whereas embankment=yes might imply that only one side had an embankment (as in a road built along a cross-slope).  Perhaps we should have embankment=left, embankment=right, and embankment=both?
