I don't think there is any definite date yet for completion, but you can see it while it is being restored.
Yeah, it is kind of interesting seeing them restoring it in the open. You can still get a good look at it, they keep it in full view.
However, you are some distance away from it (15-20 ft?), I recall a couple decades or more ago being almost nose to nose with the painting, but I suspect those days are long gone.
It's a painstaking slow process to remove varnish that will probably take years. Not sure there is much different to report than when you asked in November (there are links to the project in that post). https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/netherlands/rijksmuseum-night-watch-restoration
