I think

highway="disused"
disused="trunk"

would be more consistent to "construction" and "proposed".

Although that may be more consistent *once* the road has been dug up, this particular road is still in use at the moment; in that case what should (if any) additional tags be applied to the road?

Just use the note= tag to make a note for yourself or future mappers or the description= tag for interesting pop-up info to be displayed in future versions of the slippy map?? It sounds as if the road is just a regular road at the moment.

Beyond doing that and digressing slightly, it sounds rather a case of historical mapping where we'd start tagging features with things like date_appears= date_disappears= and could then render out time-based maps accordingly. ... but I think we have enough on our plate with mapping things as they are right now to handle that for a couple of years or so!
