You have told us about the missing road very accurately. Why not read the wiki on editing and mapping and try yourself as you know the area better than most of us,editing isn't too difficult ..BUT do not copy from Google maps or other copyrighted sources Use ok sources such as our bing images, our gps traces and read names from street signage

I've looked at bing at that point and the mag level is low. in the uk we are lucky, its excellent I can see the drain grill in the road outside with it, about one foot square.But you'll need a GPS to trace your stuff.Wiki as lots of advice plus this Q&A
