...no.

It being closed to maintain it.

Using your logic, even if we kept it open, if we're able to close to one lane to do roadwork, then that lane isn't needed. Then when it's time to do road work on the next lane and we need to shut it down, then that one isn't needed.

And before you know it every road is deemed as unnecessary because we have to close lanes to do road maintenance.
