'8-1'?

[yangelina.livejournal.com]

Folks that ride out from Davis toward Bedford on the Minuteman:
The bike path has been closed between Mass Ave and Alewife since Monday. The signs read "Closed for construction 8-1" so I thought it was only closed for 8/01/05. But on Wednesday it was still closed, with the same sign posted, so I thought maybe they meant 8 am to 1pm for as long as the signs are up. But then, no, because I get out of work much later than 1pm and the path was still closed.
Anybody know how much longer it will be closed? Any idea what they mean by '8-1'? (It might very well be reopened, I will find out in about 5 minutes.) It's a real pain in the butt to get around the path via Rindge Ave--that street may have some of the worst potholes in the area, the drivers aren't used to cyclists on the street, and there really isn't enough shoulder to ride on.
Thanks folks!

Here's the construction website: http://www.cambridgema.gov/TheWorks/departments/engnr/russellfield.html
It looks like it'll be closed all month, and will reopen September 1.
