The map last touched this element on 2026-07-28 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.
All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.
