A few years ago I started collecting information about how DOTs announce major changes and construction and didn't get very far. In fact, I only found Minnesota's DOT RSS and Newsletter ( http://www.dot.state.mn.us/roadwork/current.html) before getting distracted and mapping.
I would be happy to rekindle this and made a GitHub project for it here: https://github.com/osmlab/dot-feed Feel free to join in and help find this kind of information.
