Any issues with metro construction work in Porto?

Hi All, we are planning to be in Porto for about 5 days in Sept. The RS guidebook mentions that there is ongoing construction of a new metro line that has had the area of Av. dos Aliados torn up. We are staying between there and Clergies tower and so are wondering if we might need to find a different place to stay if it's really a mess, or perhaps it's been completed?

If anyone has any recent info, we'd appreciate it. This is our first time in Portugal, so any Porto tips also welcome!

If you look at Google maps, there’s a couple block area in front of InterContinental Porto - Palácio das Cardosas that is a construction zone. That’s the area under construction when we were there last September. The only inconvenience was having to walk around the fencing/walled off area. For us that wan’t an issue as we were only in that area for a couple hours and were staying in a different of town.
