Ship Tunnels

[Greygor 1]

Just out of interest, is this possible in SC 4 (or indeed already done)

The Norwegian government has backed an ambitious plan to create the world's first ship tunnel. But why has nobody tackled this engineering feat before?

 

At 45m high (148ft) and 36m (118ft) wide, the 1.7km (one mile) long Stad Ship Tunnel will be the only one of its kind - a passage through solid rock able to accommodate 16,000 tonne freight and passenger ships.

 

Ship canals have long been used to make journeys more direct and safer but the Stad peninsula is a mountainous divide, peaking at 645m, between the Norwegian Sea to the north and the North Sea to the south.

 

Norway has a reputation as the world-leader in tunnelling. They have already achieved the world's longest road tunnel.

that's pretty cool, and a cool idea!

 

I don't think it would be possible though.  the closest I would think about it pseudo happening would be bridges with earthen textures applied.  even then we can't do it because the bridges can't be built directly next to each other.

IL created this, but I think that he has since removed it from the STEX.  If this is the kind of thing you are after, I'm sure that he would email you a link/copy if you asked him nicely
