See Internals Reference 3.2.111 spanner-interface:

to-barline (boolean)
If true, the spanner will stop at the bar line just before it would otherwise stop.

Thus:

\version "2.19.82"
\score {
  \relative c' {
    c2 -\tweak to-barline ##t \cresc c c c
    R1*4 \!
  }
}

If you want the dotted line to end before, not at the barline, 

another approach is to make the last note look like the value you want, 

but scale it down, and add a spacer where you the line to end:

\version "2.19.81"
\score {
    \relative c' {  

        R1 \break

        c2 \cresc c c c2*1/2 s4\!
        R1 \break
 
        c2 \cresc c c c2*3/4 s8\!
        R1 \break

        c2 \cresc c c c2*7/8 s16\!
        R1 \break

        c2 -\tweak to-barline ##t \cresc c c c
        R1\! \break

        c2 \cresc c c c
        R1\!
    }
}
