While I was in France, I saw an interesting solution to this on their Metro system.
Maps were physical and line maps were even built into the train itself, with an indicator light showing where the train was on the line. When a stop was closed for maintenance or closed early or something, a vinyl sticker was placed over the stop with updated information. It was seamless and blended in with the style of the existing map.
A solution like this would be adequate in most areas I think.
