work or working

I note my nearby construction site has this notice - Working in progress.

Is it right? I think it should be - Work in progess.

Thanks

I agree. 'Work in progress' indicates that people are 'working' there (whatever the work may be) so 'working in progress' sounds weird to me.

Notices on building sites are often idiosyncratic.
