Checking yesterday (Tuesday), I had a similar feeling to you, Geoff.
However my contacts in the Museum (who have very pressing reasons to have the direct route open ASAP, if not sooner) tell me that the builders are adamant that it will be ready in time. They are working through the nights and are under severe penalties if they fail!
