This includes: Abandoned, Still in use, Semi-Abandoned (road alignment is still open; but a section is closed to traffic)
So yeah, this is 100% inspired from another post i made called Newest Abandoned Roads.
Heres it again, but slightly changed.
Any bypass road will do.
Newest bypassed roads?

Re: Newest bypassed roads?
How new? There are several under construction at the moment, eg. A30 Carland X to Chivvy X, A487 Caernarfon/Bontnewydd.
The A487 one will probably open in about a month.

Re: Newest bypassed roads?
I interpret this question as ‘what is the newest road which has already been bypassed by another road?’
In which case I nominate Home Farm Road in Longstanton, Cambs. I don’t think it was even a decade old when the B1050 bypass further out was constructed.

Re: Newest bypassed roads?
The old trunk road to Tilbury is another candidate for "road bypassed most quickly after opening", as I mentioned in that thread:
I can only assume there must have been earlier plans to upgrade the A13 online through the north side of Grays, rather than bypassing the route to the north.I wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 13:31 From a different perspective of the title, one of the roads to be abandoned quickest after opening is the old trunk road to Tilbury docks, which got bypassed just a few years after opening. Most of it is still in use as a local route, but you can clearly see that this bridge has space for an extra carriageway, and it's even more obvious on the aerial view, along with some surrounding alignments of former slip roads.

Re: Newest bypassed roads?
A god candidate for a bypass of a bypass of a bypass. And possible another bypass if you include School Lane
