Hi there. I'm trying to build a road bridge over sunken rail but I'm not sure how to do it. I don't know if there's a mod that I can download that will make it easier for me or if there's a video tutorial out there. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Fine Road Anarchy is always a welcome mod, so your construction don't get stopped by the game's collision detection.

Then Fine Road Tool allow you to force the road to take specific elevation - force it to be a bridge, force it on the ground, etc.

MoveIt is of course recommended, you don't need to build your initial items very accurately, just adjust it's position / height / alignment later with MoveIt.

    Thanks but I'm playing SimCity 4 not Cities Skylines or SimCity (2013). Those suggestions I don't think are available to SC4.

    I've moved the topic into the SimCity 4 forums, being in the Cities Skylines one, people would assume you are playing that game.

    The NAM includes a number of useful pieces for such situations, for example using road on-slope pieces at L1/L2 (7.5m/15m), you can make something like this:

    Actually here the rail in in a 7.5m trench created using the Hole Diggers/Raisers, another NAM component and the overpass is OWR.

    Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

    Sorry, I thought I was in the SC4 Forum. Thanks for the above answers. I do have NAM but I don't have the patience to actually research what each piece does. Guess I need to go on YouTube and find videos instead :)

    Overpasses are one of the first things I covered in my mini-NAM Tutorials series.

    If I'm not mistaken. You can replicate it using draggable viaduct, right?
