Thanks for the research. I will change the highway to trunk and leave as a single carriageway.

And then from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States_roads_tagging#Trunk_tag there is "Most controlled-access highways without adequate speed or travel lanes or with obstructions should be designated highway=trunk. This designation applies, for example, to the two-lane Interstate 93 in northern New Hampshire" Even if it is a dual carrageway, unless it has been rebuilt since the Bing imagery it only has one lane per direction which from the above quote would indicate trunk rather than motorway.
