Default Marble to Crystal City (Colorado)

Has anyone run the trail from Marble to Crystal this year? A friend told me last year part of it was shut down for construction, but I haven't been able to figure out where she was to know if that would impact me. I don't want to run the Devil's Punchbowl or the rough parts of Schofield Pass, but it looks like I could go that way and cut over to Lead King Basin. Thoughts?

Thanks. What time are you running Lead King? We're leaving Denver tomorrow AM and hitting some ghost towns between us and Marble, probably running LK Sunday AM.

For anyone who's interested, the Lead King Basin trail to the Crystal trail back to Marble is a great run. A few narrow spots where oncoming traffic would suck, but definitely a trail worth repeating. There is a decent creek crossing maybe axle deep, so beware heavy rains.
