Update Time!

So I thought i'd focus on roads for the next few updates, as I am a roadgeek

This will be a two-part update, the second part

coming tomorrow night.

Tiny history lesson folks.

During the 1950's and 60's, the world was crazy about motorways. They were building them left to right, destroying anything that got in their way, going right through historic neighbourhoods. Eventually, people grew angry and revolted against such motorways, causing many projects to be left cancelled, and some uncompleted. Portage was no exception to these revolts, as evidenced with many motorway stubs/halfbuilt junctions.

Today we'll look at the M8

The M8 was a planned 13 mile long motorway to connect the M1 to the M5, and form an inner bypass to downtown Rogan.

(I'll have a map eventually)

The first stage was built through the Shelby neighbourhood along an existing DeLeon Avenue, disconnected many side streets from the main road

The next stage was to cut straight through a neighbourhood, demolishing houses and all. A Y-stacked junction was built to reroute DeLeon Ave/M8 a bit south to connect with the new stretch of motorway. This left behind two slabs of abandoned pavement

The road was built through , and the neighbourhood was divided into two.

As for the rest of the M8, we'll take a look at that tomorrow ;-)

I'll throw in a random neighbourhood picture for you

Nice start! Keep it up!

[Zezug 6]

Ah the suburbs where the grid is only destroyed by the highways, great!

[psander5 195]

Nice motorway! I like the added touch of leaving the slabs of concrete. You should add a mossy, weedy texture for a future update

The 'Y' stack looks great in with all those nice suburban streets.

Nice update, great roads!!!

Lookin forward to more!!!

Neat use of RHW! Have you thought about replacing that avenue-Y stack with a RHW interchange? I think it would look fantastic in that setting!

Best,

[De Ja Vu 117]

Wow! Nice suburbs! The highway intersection looks awesome!

[rawr APPLES 15]

thank you all for the nice comments! except one thing, and I probably shouldve said this, this is the inner city still. the nice side of it at least.

and I will update tomorrow probably, Real life is getting the best of me!

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Not bad at all, rawr. I like how the highway looks cutting through the neighbourhood like that.

[jacqulina 162]

Hello fellow AFDES observer state:

Youre CJ is very aestheticly pleasing and it is very realistic too, with a well developed downtown and a smooth flowing highway through the suburbs you're CJ has a bright future!
