I'm pretty sure they dug it up. There are, after all, hurriedly

Good point. I know there are plenty of sections small roads that have
been just cut off and left to their own devices but are there any
large sections of A roads (or motorways) that were bypassed and
disused and just left alone?
Probably the longest stretch I know of: when the M74 opened, the A74
trunk dual carriageway was converted to single carriageway B-road,
with the whole length of the second carriageway being abandoned to
nature.
Oh yeah...
