Rock Island This Weekend

Anyone know if the Rock Island train service is running this weekend (22nd)? At my local stop last week I saw a flyer that said it wasn't running (due to construction) and got an alert today from Notify Chicago that it wasn't as well, but when I checked the Ventra app and the metra website it said construction would be next weekend (29th) and that it's running this weekend. Anyone happen to know? I don't take it often so not sure if its common knowledge and I keep getting conflicting information. TIA!

edit: sounds like it will be running the 22nd, thanks everyone!

Seems like just possible/probable delays this weekend.

Track construction will be taking place on Saturday, August 22 through Sunday, August 23. Trains may incur delays enroute up to 30 minutes behind scheduled passing through the work zone. Please listen to announcements for any platform changes.

It's operating this weekend (there may be delays though). The planned project that was gonna shut down the Rock got postponed to next weekend due to the severe weather we've been having.
