All I can see on Google is a report from 2018 about it being closed, are you looking at an old report? I would assume that the authorities would not want that road shut at this time of year.
I hope someone has something more up to date for you.

Just looked at Google routeplanner and it does show diversions in place, but they look straightforward.
Given that there are always hold-ups at the junction with the N154 and A12 before Dreux, I've googled Pont de l'Arche to Chartres as we will be going that way shortly. I think I would take the google, avoiding Dreux, and using the alternative route through Nonancourt, through Laons and Chateauneuf en Thymerais then via the D939 to Chartres - we've been that way with the caravan, and google actually suggests it's three minutes quicker than following the recommended diversions!

Hi Val. With the route you suggest do you actually go through the town of Nomancourt? After that all is clear.
Yes, and the first bit through the town is slightly tricky if there are a lot of parked cars. You take the D50 which takes you down the main street, and then turn right over the bridge, then immediately right again, through a few 'wiggles' and then from there on it's a straight road towards Laons.

Thanks. Have looked at it before after N12 frustrations. Too late for this year but will give it a go next June.
The N12 frustrations may not last too long. I'm pretty sure this is why the campsite at Saint Remy sur Avre is closed - because that's part of the proposed by-pass route. I'm sure there were boards giving the preliminary drawings for the by-pass. I'll have a look when (if) we go that way this time.
We went down that way in April, but came back on the route through Nonancourt, described above, because the traffic delays on the N12 were worse than usual.
