Is there a massive construction project ongoing at the US Capitol?

Many of you have been sending me a photograph of ongoing construction at the US Capitol. It's pretty massive--like a huge hole to the East of the US Capitol that indicates something nefarious is ongoing. However, this photo is not current and so that you can see that, I decided to drive over to Capitol Hill in the rain and snow (didn't feel like walking) so you can see for yourself, well best as you can given the fences and police and National Guard.
