I've only done it with ways, but you should be able to retrieve the history for

In JOSM, open the history pane and select the bode you want to look at, then

Guillaume,
Welcome to OSM. Depending on what you're trying to do with the data, you
can either download a map extract for each state from one of the extract
sites like CloudMade, or you can search the map for a specific road.
