More Road Construction

CityNut607

Its construction season here in the Claxton Metro, and a busy one at that. The city has seen some pretty big expansions happening and new roads must be built to accommodate the new increase in traffic.  

First on our tour is a new main corridor in Brighton. The city is expanding pretty rapidly, and new development in the works has forced city leaders to connect two major roadways. This will help spur any new commercial hopefuls.

Next up is a new overpass being built to help ease traffic through a rail crossing. Train traffic has increased, and has caused major traffic backups. This overpass will eliminate the need to stop at the rail crossing.

The Walton Memorial Freeway (WMF) is being expanded northward through Brighton to meet up with the industry port there. This will connect the two ports together from Walton to Brighton. This new road expansion will also accommodate new development in Brighton.

Next stop is back in Walton. This is the new spur of the WMF to the north. This alignment forced the move of some homes and businesses, but it was needed.

There was also a major overhaul to connect this new spur to the existing one along I-40

  1. I'm new to playing SC4 with mods so reading through journals like these and seeing the pictures is a massive help and inspiration. Big fan of the river you have running through the area, would love to know what mods you're using to get those natural looking waterways? Also caught a glimpse of a golf course. Is that a modded golf course or just the standard Maxis one?

Thank you! Welcome to the SC4 experience and community! *:D

 

 I have been playing SC4 since it was released! I have mostly been a lurker all these years, but decided to start showcasing my work.  I started on SC2K waaayyyy back in the day, and eventually SC3K

As for that water mod, I can't remember the exact name of my ploppable water mod, but feel free to look into one of the many available. It comes down to personal preference. There are SEVERAL to choose from. The golf courses, those are downloadable too. They are made by @doctorgonzo and I have attached the download link. 

Good luck in your endeavors, and don't forget to have fun!
