I would not consider Google Maps very dependable in this situation. For example between my home and Puerto Plata, it shows no difference at all, and that's just not true. The bridge is closed, and according to "word on the street" it will be closed for at least 10 days.
And just take a look at the video on this page:

My wife's boss lives in Puerto Plata and has his store in Sosúa, he took the detour yesterday and it took him almost 2 hours to get from POP to Sosúa, and from my understanding, the traffic situation is even worse today.
