Hi,
I read somewhere that the routing gets updated within weeks of updates being done on the map. There's a trail segment in Quebec (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/384575735/history) that was damaged (that is, one of the tags got removed - the trail itself didn't get damaged), but I repaired it 4 months ago by putting the highway:cycleway tag back on it.
On this saved itinerary (https://cycle.travel/map/journey/620147), it is routed correctly, but that's because I created this route from a copy of another one, saved years ago. If I try to change the routing on that trail segment, I'd lose the correct routing and won't be able to bring it back.
I therefore can't route through it using cycle.travel. I was wondering if that was normal.

It’s not normal but the North America updates are running a bit behind schedule at the moment because I need to rework the elevation code. Should be back to normal shortly – sorry for the hassle.
Thank you for your answer! :)
In my neck of the woods - Texas Gulf Coast - a 7 mile section of a popular cycling road is now being completely relaid, this work will take close to 2 years to finish. I don't think any cycling guide could ever foresee such a programme of re-construction or be responsible for updating a site to advise avoiding it with suggested re-routes. Road cycling guides are just that, guides not absolutes. I think we all find roads the standards of which are not up to our expectations, but that is why they make wider tyres. ;-)
