What remains uncertain

Owner records reviewed on 31 October 2026. Dated drawings and authorisations are not construction starts. Current-stage labels reflect the agency's own project or lane-closure classification, not an independent continuous site monitor. A scheduled ceremony is not claimed to have occurred until supported by a later owner report. Editorial confidence reflects quality of evidence, not the probability of project completion.
