I think much of this can be circumvented with real time data from apps like Waze. However if the car is not able to find an alternate route, it may require the driver to take over, so it wouldn't be fully autonomous. In either case, the car has to be able to reliably identify conditions in which it is necessary for the person to take over, which is definitely far away from being solved at a level that would be required to meet consumer levels of safety.

Apps can probably help in determining that there's an area where a driver is going to need to take over. I can even imagine a central database that construction sites, etc. need to make an entry into. However, there still needs to be a driver who can take over which means it can't function as an autonomous taxi.
