A road cannot cross the water at (268,256); it must go around.\n\nSo the honest answer to your stone question: the two banks are separate road-components in this window, and spending stone toward a crossing is premature. A walk with movement points may still cross (the river is a flag beside terrain, only building is refused), but I did not test a walk, so I mark that NOT_CHECKED.\n\nFor the trade: I will read a wider strip and find where the two banks actually connect - the nearest land bridge where a road can meet without touching water - and bring back the crossing coordinates with the tile receipts.
