A 2-shot view at the spillway top. This one looks like a single camera on auto-pan. Link below.
Also this one from the "Visitor Center". Not much of interest here.

The Parks. CA website these are from is weak in that it doesn't have any of these links all in one place.
I can't speak to much else about this project since Firefox is being bitchy with the DWR website and won't allow access due to "insecure connection". (http://www.water.ca.gov/)
I believe it's a 2-year project with a rainy season halt at the end of this year.
Follow Ups:
Here are all three of the California Parks cameras. You can use either http:// or https:// (secure) for any of them. I find that they're a bit more reliable using http for some reason.

Here's their page containing timelapse videos from the six different views from the lower spillway camera. I think these tend to span several days each.

This is DWR's photo gallery on Photoshelter. If you sign up for an account you can get permission (takes about 24 hours, if I recall) to download the photos in a huge format that gives great detail.

Here's a YouTube channel with (usually) intelligent conversation about the project. It relays the video from the lower spillway camera, but in slightly lower resolution.

Finally, another YouTube channel from a fellow named Juan Browne. He lives in the area and reports on the situation. He's a commercial airline pilot, and he also has a small private plane in which he does flyovers of the project about once a week. Some of the best reporting on the situation that you'll find anywhere.

Much of the reconstruction of lower half of the spillway can be seen from this one.
I thought I posted a question about how long this was going to take?
2 years, eh? I'll bet they are lowering the upstream side like crazy before the floods of winter hit.
Than the runoff / meltoff......
Too much is never enough
Supplies great entertainment, throughout the grueling graveyard shift. BTW... The seal link is a blast!
