Road construction going into Rodeiro?

When I last walked the Invierno, there were roadworks betwen the windmills after Monte Faro (actually it was a little further on, after you crossed the CG-2.1 and PO-533, the spot where that large waymarker that says it was put there by Rodeiro). I remember a descent from the highway with all sorts of earthmoving being done.

Then, further along, after the Pazo de Camba before Leboro, there were quite a few places where there was construction and sometimes paths were closed off. I had no problem, miraculously, but the day I walked into Rodeiro I met a huge busload of pilgrime early in the morning after Peñasillás. They ended their walk in Rodeiro and many of them told me they got lost on this stretch. Here is what the guide says, and I wonder if anyone from 2017 can comment on the current status and whether this should be modified.

From the point where you leave the LU-P-1809 before Leboro, the Camino takes off-road options nearly all the way into Rodeiro. In summer 2015 there was road construction going on and many temporary signs closing off roads to traffic. I just kept going straight ahead (that is, never taking a turn onto a dirt road that was signed as being under construction) and had no problem. But a large group walking from Ponferrada, who all arrived in Rodeiro after I did, told me that many members of their group got lost on this stretch. 2016 pilgrims confirm that construction is ongoing. Good news – a February 2017 pilgrim reports that all is well marked, no detours! (I decided to leave the alert in, just in case there is more roadwork this summer, but hopefully new pilgrims can confirm that things are easy and clear).
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I walked Camino de Invierno at the end of October and finished in Santiago and I didn’t see any main road construction around that area Pazo de Camba , not near Monte Faro , nor near Rodeiro!
No problems going through that area!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Whew! Road construction means MUD, lots of MUD. I hate mud!

My 2018 Camino is the Invierno from Ponferrada to Santiago. I depart walking on 13 April.

So, this is welcome, VERY welcome news.

Thanks

Hola, Is there a walking route connecting the Frances route to the Invierno route AFTER O Cebreiro? Walking the Frances I love the ascent to, and stay in O Cebreiro and would like to visit Samos...
