But even then, Google's directions can get weird sometimes regardless if they know of the closure. It happened to me a few weeks ago where a bridge was marked as closed on both sides in Google Maps: it would correctly detour me when going from East to West, but every time it insisted I should drive over the closed bridge when going from West to East.

Actually still does it, try following NY-31 in Lyons from both directions, Google would love to have you drive into the water if you're coming from the West.
