What remains uncertain

Editorial documentary review 1 November 2026. 'Current' means physical works were documented in owner/construction records, not merely approved spending. 'Future' includes design, procurement and any project without verifiable site start. 'Historical' requires confirmed completed construction or reopening. Confidence measures strength of documentation, not likelihood of delivery. Some projects involve multiple jurisdictions; the named Baltimore site or corridor is specified.
