It should be pretty close. Google Maps has robust support for new routes on blocked roads assuming the underlying map data is updated to properly mark the roads as closed.
Traffic can usually fit into 3 main categories.
1. Commuters/Locals - in NL, these people might go into the office once or twice a week, so after a week or two, they will find a new route and update their mental model (assuming they don't use GPS). Locals largely don't need GPS either, but will update their mental model too.
2. Delivery - Largely driven by GPS but some corporate drivers may need a few weeks to update their routes or custom enterprise phone apps.
3. Visitors - Also largely GPS driven but not using any weird apps. Google and Apple Maps will update soon.
As of today, the experiment is halfway over. Looking at Google Maps, the current route to go from Amsterdam Noord to Zuid, suggests taking the highway first with the option to try and cut through the city if you really want to. Taking the highway is shown as the fastest option, but to be fair, it doesn't seem that the route planning tool is taking into account the through closure yet. Choosing to navigate from your phone may or may not give you a heads up about the road closure if you override the recommended route and try to drive through the city center.
