Warning/question about the North Channel trail

We rode the NCT to Evanston yesterday and found it (though generally a great ride with very few people around) under construction along McCormick in a couple of places, and it was really poorly marked. Does anyone know where info on this work and its timeline can be found?

I also laughed about the detour signage referring only to pedestrians - what up? Are cyclists - primary users of this route - chopped liver? Apparently so.

The detour to take is this: northbound at Lincoln, don't do the awkward u-turn back around. Head north on Kedzie to Touhy. Wide street, not lots of traffic. Then cut over to the trail at Touhy. Southbound, do the reverse.
