[OSM-talk] Mapping Mottram and Tintwistle proposed bypass

Ok, so how do I tag a section of highway that is going to be grubbed up and
returned to nature (which is happening for short sections of the A14 at
Haughley Bends)?

I am currently using the following coding:

highway="trunk"
construction="disused"


Does that seem ok?
