William Whitney portages

Hi everyone, new forum member hear. Next week we are planning our first trip to Adirondack, to WW wilderness. I'm somewhat confused with description of Little Tupper to Lila traverse in Dave Cilley Adirondack Paddler (fourth edition). Among other things: is Hardigan portage 1.75 or 2.2 miles long? It makes some difference for double-carry. Also, is Lilypad portage to Shingle Shanty through Mud pond closed, as the guide stated? From Lila travers thread on this forum I got the impression that it was opened in 2015.
Thanks and cheers!
