Under the bridge

[paulmc 391]

Some days ago I saw a pic of a bridge with a road passing under it and some coastal walls under it as well. As far as I know the game doesn´t allow to drag roads or plop lots under bridges, so I would like to know if it is some kind of mod, and what is the lastest "tecnology" when doing things under bridges.

There are a few overhang lots for roads and avenues and I think even highways, i used to have it, I don't know if its still available. However you can't actually build anything under bridges in SC4

You may have seen one of these in use (Link) (Link). They work by building a tunnel under the bridge and "covering" the entrances with an over-hanging road lot.

The walls were probably made by using over-hanging lots that place a section under the bridge. Many wall sets include these over-hanging pieces.

Just had an idea for thos overhanging lots... they should convert the traffic into subway traffic, and so you can then have one on each side of the bridge and drag the rail in-between!

You can already do this.  I don't remember the name or who made them, but there are little 1x1 tunnel lots that convert traffic into subway.  The Boston Big Dig pieces also do this.  However they are not overhang.  They just allow you to build a tunnel under the bridge.  However, once again, you can't actually place ANYTHING under bridges, except for overhang lots (as far as I know).  I wish it were different, I would love to place structures under bridges.  But that can't be done as of yet.

I have the mountain trail pedestrian mall tiles that I would like to wind beside my rivers to give my banks a more park-like look. Is there any way to build bridges over the mall tiles without disrupting the flow of the trail?

if you want your own buildings under bridges, then I think you have to lot them yourself.
