Here I have an avenue, that I wish to head east past the railway track where I plan to create a huge residential area. 13ga2.jpg But I do not wish to disturb the railway track, nor go over it. Is it possible for me to create a tunnel? I tried to drag, but it only gives me the option to go over the hill. Here is an angle from the other side: 20rm.jpg And here is where I wish the tunnel to go. 35hk1.jpg Any help please? Thanks.

A tunnel like that would be easy with the hole digging lots available on the STEX. However, I haven't had much luck with tunnel entrances being located that close to a rail line or a huge intersection like that. A one-tile buffer around the tunnel entrance would make this project much easier. 4.gif

On the STEX there is one called 'Hole Digging Lots' which should help you.

But even with that to help you get the tunnel where you want it, I think the rail would need to be 2-3 tiles from the road at a minimum.

You would need to take out that intersection and a section of the rail, build the tunnel, then rebuild the intersection and rerun the rail.

(There seems to be something wrong on the STEX at the moment. When I checked on that file I was not able to go to the download page. All I get is a page error with any lot I try to go to.)

    I'll look into that tool now, cheers. Guess if that is the case, ill have to re-align my railway track. Should be a simple task, the land is unoccupied anyway.

    Worked a charm. Rail now has a small turn, then it's back on track to the main station. Thanks for your help! 16hl3.jpg
