Hello ryan_c,
I’m Anastasia. I'm an OSM communications specialist on the OSM mapping team at Lyft.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention
When we removed the construction tag, we relied on the GPS tracks from our drivers for the week prior to the changeset therefore, the data was based on tracks from approximately July 12 to July 20.
As of today (August 20), some road segments still show GPS tracks, while others do not. Unfortunately, I cannot verify the telemetry data from the time the changeset was published to confirm whether all the roads had GPS tracks when the construction tag was removed.
According to the current telemetry data and the official sources that you have linked I reverted previous changes (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/155507179) for several ways where no GPS tracks were presented.
I apologize for the mistake. We will be more careful when working with construction in the future. 
Best regards!
