Show us your Bridges

Can you place buildings inside the gap between the tunnel entrances-exits? It would be awesome to have highways going through buildings. Something like this:

McDuell- you have just opened up a whole new area of Simcity 4. Outstanding work!

So after a hiatus of about two months I'm announcing my return. Not nearly as impressive as FAR bridges, which I still haven't really been able to wrap my head around, but here's a bridge for ya.

 

[Wallibuk 1,966]

My little bridge. It is very similar with Millau Viaduct in France.

for comparison french bridge

another bridge, for now more famous, Golden Gate

wow awesome bridges Wallibuk! In the Millau viaduct photo, is it just me or are the right-most pillars slightly slanted?

I would assume the photographer used some kind of panoramic lens setting in order to get the whole bridge onto the image.

Tributary Bridge

 

[TrickyMario76543 67]

A road & rail bridge connecting Warrentype with Bakerville. Nothing too impressive. On the Warrentype side of the bridge, there's a steep slope you need to climb in your vehicle just before the bridge.

That's quite the assortment of bridges there!

[philforhockey51 4,220]

@Compdude787  Everyone wants to get across that river, cars, trains, BTM, and foot/bike path, there is a different angle pic in my CJ entry East Peak

[TakemeThere 5,834]

An old highway bridge & tunnel portal that I made many years ago which I think still looks good today



If there's one thing I miss about using maxis highways its the bridges, especially the Golden Gate

This is a small, purely decorational wooden pedestrian bridge I made myself with props from the Historic Harbor Plugin. I really need to say that this plugin comes in quite handy.

Is the bridge Transit Enabled?

[11241036 5,115]

No. This is a 1x1 lot with overhanging props that actually sits on the slope. I just made myself, long ago, some traffic blockers with various traffic textures (among them SAM 3) and placed them there to make the transition between the bridge and the dirt road look more plausible.

With the SC4Tool it would be possible to switch traffic from car to subway to 'bridge' the gap and make it functional. It wouldn't allow bus or freight traffic however, but you could always play that as weight allowance 

[11241036 5,115]

I know. But my traffic blocker's main purpose of existence is to block traffic, not to let it pass. Besides, in this situation, I have enough alternatives for traffic to get across the river, and I can also use subway stations to create a bypass for pedestrians.

@philforhockey51 Looks entirely interesting. By the way, in your previous post, I've seen some retaining walls around the railway overpass. Which plugin are you using for this one, self-made or available for download? If self-made (and relot), may I ask you for the texture instance or the link to the dependency?

[Yarahi 1,823]

@11241036 I think those may be from the Add-On pack to Mas71's walls here; https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1519

[philforhockey51 4,220]

@11241036  and @Yarahi  Actually I think those are the Paeng Textured Walls(or at least that is the way it is titled in my plugins folder.) I believe that they were part of a set of three from Paeng but I could not find them on the STEX, I think I may have downloaded them from SimPeg when it was around.

[11241036 5,115]

Thanks for looking into this. I couldn't find them as well; I'll probably have to search further or try to find other retaining wall textures.

[Yarahi 1,823]

@11241036 You could try to look at the CBExchange - they do have most of Paengs files, including the old scrabblebox

[TakemeThere 5,834]

Whilst cleaning up the 'ol albums folder came across a few unused pics. This one was a alternative angle for the completed bridges challenge.

I like how you changed what was a FLUP underpass into that 2-lane FlexFly! Looks a lot better!
