Planning a July trip for a group of 4, from Cumberland to DC. Can someone please clarify where the construction is and how you handled it?

Please check the C&O NPS website..The only construction I'm aware of is Damn No. 5..the detour is marked pretty clearly. coming from Cumberland there are steps..Approximately 20..then a wood chip path for 150 yards up and down some smallish hills.. I'm 66 and a bit out of shape so I walked most of it..coming the other way from Williamsport..we turned around at the steps..then YOU would continue on Damn no 5 road for less than .25 mile turn right through the canal and back onto the towpath.. it there are other construction sites..I'm not aware...Buttttt there was some flooding over the weekend..we will see
