How to build this bridge...?

[michaeldcannaday 42]

In the pic, it shows a 6 lane highway with a center turning lane in which I can build that with NAM but I can never figure out how to build the bridge that the pic shows (the pic is someone elses from on here). The only bridges I can seem to build (without a freeway,interstate) is a normal default 4 lane bridge..

 

Please tell me it's not RHW

I believe that is a 6 lane avenue from the network widening mod(NWM), you can get that seperately or from the new NAM31 release.  The puzzle pieces needed to create that are included.  The way he got it to come off that hill like that is by using the "on-slope" puzzle piece, you create a 15m(exactly) high bump in the terrain using a hole digger tool(included with new NAM31 or you can do a search for smoncrie's hole digging lots, the NAM digging lots are cool because they actually state the height or depth to which they dig or raise where smoncrie's just states what they are used for), then you find your "on-slope" puzzle piece and put the flat end on the edge of the bump and place the piece, the weird looking part of the "on-slope" will level out to the lower terrain 15 meters below, you can then take an elevated puzzle piece and join it with it and then use a smooth transition from elevated to ground.  That is how he did it.

 

I suggest you go and do Google searches on the subject and find Youtube videos or experiment with it yourself, my explanation can only do so much, I think I did good though.

 

This is also how overpasses are created with normal roads and other transit networks, like you can use 4 way elevated intersection puzzle pieces to join highways with avenue or road overpasses.  The NWM and NAM have really completely revolutionized this game.  The possibilities are only limited tot he extent of your imagination, all you need to do is feed your imagination puzzle pieces.

thanks!   I have looked up alot of youtube videos in the past on how to create and build alot of roadways...it has come in handy   just the hard part is trying to find where to download the right versions of roadways to use such as NAM or RHW

Just wanna give a proper run-through on proper terminology: A bridge is something that goes over water. An "bridge" that goes over a road (which is what is in the picture) is an overpass. It's even in the manual.

Also, some key points here:

- There isn't any elevated NWM networks available and a number of users have found that using RHW is a close-enough substitute.

- The current version of the NAM is NAM 31, which contains both the RHW and NWM. It's no longer necessary (or recommended) to install the NWM separately if you're using NAM 31.

- The method Metalpuritan described is correct, the items mentioned are not. It's a TLA-7 transitioning to an RHW-6C, which then crosses over a set of Rails as an L2 RHW-6C. So yes, you do need RHW and NWM for this.

If your computer can handle NAM 31, then you should be able to go ahead and use NAM 31, along with the new RHW (despite all the bugs) and the NWM.

Also, the manual shown here is only included with NAM 31. If you can ignore the red herrings and the incorrect references, you'll find that all 120 pages of it are quite a good read.

THANKS!!   I haven't downloaded the new Nam 31 yet, not knowing how many bugs and tweets need to be done but if you guys think it's good enough now to download, let me know

With the exception of some rather exotic RHW bugs, it is just fine.  However, I haven't tested everything there.  Overall it is a good job.  You might want to do a custom install, though.  Has to be done with considerable attention.  Or you can use the default general install.

Moved this topic to the right place.

 

Also you miss out on alot of neat stuff if you just press next and dont look at the options. Make sure to take time to install the NAM.
