Yes, it's finished and in service.

I'm sorry I can't provide you more info. Let's hope you get an answer from someone with recent on the ground info about that strecht of the Camino del Norte.

I walked that stretch after the new freeway had already been opened and I have to say it was a huge relief. I believe 80% of the traffic from N-634 was gone including all big trucks (and I remember very well what it looked like before). I went along the (quiet now) road again because I wanted to stay at the camping La Franca (they have some old bungalows for pilgrims to share), so I can't say if the original Camino has been restored by now.
There is more updated info at the blog of the pilgrim who walked there recently:
