To whoever thought it was a good idea to irrevocably destroying 4 years of data collection: Perhaps next time you could just change the segment types to Parking Lot, update the street name to include CONST ZN, and include the estimated completion data in an alternate name or small landmark. Like in the Wiki that’s linked right off the editor in the lower left.

Donor segments pulled from where they could. New bridge is scheduled for install on July 22nd and bridge reopened some time after that supposedly in August.
You could share a link to the location. That said to be honest I’ve found that with major redesign/rebuilds, historic data is more harmful/annoying than helpful. With a total re-design the traffic flow is going to be substantially different and the historic data will just prompt MP’s due to old data tracks.
Really what is lost in this case? No we don’t just delete and redraw in most cases but when the entire design and layout is so substantially different from the original it may actually help to let Waze learn the data anew. It might negatively affect routing for a short time but there are enough wazers that will drive over it regardless that the data will be quickly replaced with newer more accurate data that actually matches the new layout.
The joys of wild west lock-free Waze editing.
MP generation does NOT work that way. It is not associated with segment or node id historical data in any way, only their current position and state. So it does not matter if they’re new or old segments, exist or don’t exist, if they layout changes you will always get MP for next however many months/years it takes Waze to get around to purging the old drive data.
You severely underestimate the amount of time it takes to fill in transit times when there’s at a minimum one bucket for each 10 minutes for each day of each week when there’s only about 1% of the driving population routinely using Waze. So yes it is a significant loss.
Good thing that’s changing soon, and that change would have specifically prevented this situation.
