I was caught in a similar snag due to construction a few weeks ago. I put it in gear and let it idle along, barely faster than a snail. I managed to keep moving most of the time, with only a few stops (engine-off, of course). Idle in 2nd gear at about 3mph gave me about 40mpg. It was barely above lugging, but handled it fine.
