Construction update for Hwy. 5 below Rio Hardy please?

We're heading down to our Beach House below San Felipe next weekend for Labor Day Weekend (yes I know it will be blistering hot) and was wondering if anyone has been down in the past week or so to give an estimation of the miles of detour below Rio Hardy.

We were down in July so a recent update would be useful.

Reports yesterday indicate that the roadwork south of Mexicali has proceeded to the point of making additional drainage cuts through the existing causeway across the Laguna Salada (south of km 70). This means more "ups-and-downs" between the road and the desert surface diversions but it is also heartening to hear that the work south of the Rio Hardy is now winding up as grading and paving enters its final phase.
