A similar situation with US 20 in Freeport, IL is tagged trunk, and
I'd go with that here as well, though primary is not an incorrect
choice. IDOT has been building these staged bypasses for years now;
they start out 2 lanes, but with 4 lanes' worth of ROW reserved for
future construction of an at-grade expressway (and overpasses sized to
match, as you noted).

Motorway would be an incorrect choice, in my opinion.
