Hmmm. Couple of months maybe. But I'd been through several times at night with no lights before that over a fairly broad span of time, so I wouldn't count on it being fixed yet.
Initially it was scary in the "what if someone/something leaps out of the dark" sort of way but resolved more into the "what if I trip over something" sort of way. However, since I'd been passing back through in the dark just a couple hours after passing through in daylight, I kind of set aside the tripping over anything worry (having perceived no major obstacles), and proceeded in something like faith.
Though nothing bad has happened, I still don't particularly like it, and try to plan my errands so I don't end up crossing there at night.
But really, I do think of it as a passage that, as another commenter has indicated, is more a case of bark than bite.
