Station Square Detour

Noticed these signs along the trail by Station Square. I assume they're for the new construction... apartment building there? I can't seem to find any info on the detour, Marko claims info's been floating around the forums, But I can't find it. I looked at Friends of the Riverfront's and RiverLife's Facebook feeds and I see nuthin'. What's the detour? How long is is going to be detoured?

OK, so Marko found Erok's post and subsequently rubbed my nose in it:

I parked my car in the big Station Square parking lot the other day, and as I was leaving I noticed that there seems to be a new bike lane along E. Station Square Drive. (The part that runs parallel to E. Carson by the parking lot, east of Smithfield Street.) So maybe the bike/ped connection to McKean is now complete? I couldn't tell, it was dark and I only got a quick glimpse of it.

Rode this yesteday. It's basically a gas station bypass, which I guess is alright.  The entry points are a little funky.

Coming from upstream, you now encounter this gate at 2nd St: https://flic.kr/p/CqNF5g I tried biking on McKean St, and saw this detour sign at 1st St. If there was a sign earlier, it was so subtle (dull-colored) that I didn't notice it. (click for uncropped picture) https://flic.kr/p/ZZ23WW The short new bike lane takes you to E Station Square Dr. You can get back on the usual trail at Grand Concourse: (click for uncropped picture) https://flic.kr/p/CqNF3c

Detour might be nice if I had some signage telling me where to turn to bypass the gas station. Maybe I missed something in the dark?   https://youtu.be/g1secMhdCV0

Speaking of detours, is the Strip District detour over?
