I suggest tags highway=proposed and/or highway=construction tags can be used, depending on what you know and/or see (in that order).

If a section of washed-out road is an "island" that cannot be gotten to, it might properly be tagged access=no. Ditto for roads that are still physically extant, but have been essentially "condemned" by, say a municipality, county road department or state DOT.

In other words, OSM can excel here at exceedingly accurately describing the state of the road network, right down to any granularity or level of detail, whether still there and open, still there but closed, gone but going to be rebuilt, or actually being rebuilt. There are other combinations, I'm sure: tag appropriately!

If the road is washed out to the point where it is completely gone (as opposed to only part of it being washed out) and a new road would have to be rebuilt on a new route, I would just delete the segment of road that got washed out. The road isn't there now, so it should be shown as such in OSM.
