The pilot reported he landed on an uncompleted section of roadway his company was working on. During the subsequent takeoff, he allowed the airplane's left main landing gear tire to enter a rut. He said he over corrected, lost directional control, and went off the side of the runway and struck a stump with the horizontal stabilizer.
