Several freeways that were designed by the Army Corps of Engineers in the Baghdad, IQ area got tagged similarly to that (highway=unbuilt or similar). No idea if they were later built by some authority. Also didn't know if it was inside knowledge by a returning soldier past the end of whatever applicable NDA was in play or someone pulled a big-ass FOIA request and found 'em. Or if Sam Baldock (the same one for which segments of Iraq Highway 1 (prior to and once again after Hussein's rule) and a long section of Interstate 5 in Oregon were named after; he was a prolific civil engineer in both regions) had designed 'em and they were never built after the 1968 Ba'ath Revolution. Normally not a fan of source tags on anything smaller than a whole changeset, but in this case, it would save a whole lot of research trying to find where a strange but plausible edit came from.
