The original example https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8190845,-76.8530417,857m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en-US is now a set of ways that can be used as non-freeway highways. I would most likely tag them as either service or track with surface and tracktype tags. Important to check on the ground the access rights and add exact width, surface and smoothness tags. In addition I would tag them in addition with abandoned:highway=motorway if they were ever used as freeways (which seem not to be the case). I would not use the construction tag as this would mean that this is part of a freeway under construction.
