I *wish* we had the manpower to do something like that!  That would be very
cool, but impractical given our manpower situation overall.

I have used this as a lead for independent research (e.g., either visiting
the location in person, use available aerial imagery under an appropriate
license, or public domain government sources) to map.  I have the advantage

When I'm doing such construction tagging that impacts navigation, I'll
throw a note into the notes system with the expected reopening date so it
gets a little extra attention for other folks that might be mapping (or
better yet, on the ground, and can see when it's open again) in the area to
help keep things up to date.
