Alexandria Interchange Tour/Update

CityNut607

1,217 Views

Hello!

I am back after some time away. I've still been playing SC4 as often as I can, just have not had the time I need to post a proper CJ.

As I promised, I would start to showcase my newest region of Ottawa, and here is the beginning.

This map I found here on ST and is modeled after Ottawa Canada! (I have made a few adjustments from the original to make it work for what I needed.)

My central city on this map is named Alexandria!

Here is Alexandria after I first started:

And here is a current screenshot of the region:

Road Map:

A lot of changes have taken place!

 

Now the main reason for this CJ! I wanted to give you a tour of the interchanges I have built in this region. Personally I feel that they are my better work compared to my other regions, but I will let you be the judge. *:)

Here is the interchanges I will be showcasing this time around. They are numbered in the order they will be shown.

Without further interruption, lets begin!

#1

Located in Muldrow:

#2

Also located in Muldrow. This one is slated for some changes in the near future.

#3

I have shown this one already in the Show Us Your Interchanges section here on ST. This is the behemoth located in Pryor.

#4

Also slated to be changed and updated.

#5

Located in Benson is a massive interchange. This one is fairly new as well, and has been showcased elsewhere.

#6

A very compact "T" interchange in Alexandria's downtown region.

#7

Also in Alexandria, this interchange was part of a major works project to run the interstate under the river through a tunnel. (more about that project later)

#10

This is one of my busiest interchanges in Alexandria. It has gone through a few rebuilds. Sadly, I did not document those changes.

#11

This takes us to Port Walker just East of Alexandria. It is a major industrial port.

#12-13

Simple trumpet in Port Walker. I wanted to show off the diagonal diamond, because I have struggled and usually avoid diagonal aspects of RHW, but have been playing around with them lately.

#14

Last one for Port Walker.

#15

We are now in Douglass and this is the most recent interchange I have built. I call it a split 4 way.

That sums up every "major" interchange in Ottawa/Alexandria. I know that was a lot of content, but I have been building for a while without really sharing. My next update should hopefully detail individual communities in and around Ottawa.

The next area I will be focusing my attention on is circled:

I need to connect the ring road to the East of Alexandria and fill in the suburbs. But I have a lot planned, just finding time to do it! :)

Thanks for joining! Always!

Thank you! I try my best. I've actually been away from SC4 for a while now with hopes of starting back up soon. RL has been pretty hectic lately!
