I don't think so, assuming you are using static routes.
Even if an interface is down, the system is still attached to that
network even though it won't use it; so that is still a valid route
even if it can't be used.
If you "destroy"-ed that interface I bet the route would dissipear. Or
you could use a dynamic routing protocol.
