Hello.
I there a schedule for the full re-opening of the Takayama line between Nagoya and Toyama, and the HIDA express going back to service?

No. It is fixed when it is fixed.

No, it is not fixed.

The line from Hida-Furukawa to Nagoya is up and running.

From the Official Hida Takayama FB page via JR Central:
JR Central has announced that they plan to reopen the closed railroad tracks from Hida-Kanayama Station to Gero Station (which were damaged by landslides caused by the heavy rainfall in early July) on Saturday, August 11. Along with the reopening of these tracks, Limited Express Wide View Hida services from Nagoya Station to Hida-Furukawa Station (via Gero and Takayama Station) will also be reintroduced; you can now purchase tickets for reserved and non-reserved seats.

With trains resuming their normal services starting on August 11, the last day of the temporary shuttle buses from Hida-Kanayama Station to Gero Station will be on Friday, August 10.

yNotesz
Train lines from Sakakami Station to Inotani Station will remain closed (repairs are expected to take a few months) with temporary shuttle buses running in place of the trains
Limited Exp. Wide View Hida services from Hida-Furukawa Station to Toyama Station will remain suspended

Hi!

There is still no ETA but the official train/bus or just bus transport info is up on the JR Central website which should make planning connections between Takayama and Toyama easier.

It will take several months until the remaining section will be reopened. The situation will be updated on the following page:
