I haven't been in Chicago since they finished Randolph St., and I've read that they put in new platforms at Roosevelt Rd. Did they ever interlock the crossovers at 11th Place?

I last visited the area in March while checking out the new station at Roosevelt Road (now known as Museum Campus/11th St). As of then, the crossovers were still manual, controlled by a switchtender, so I suspect this is still the case. Haven't heard about any plans for a CTC upgrade...
