New Humboldt is BACK!! This update is going to focus on a new city I have recently developed in New Humboldt. That city is Ellwood City. Ellwood City is located south west of Fairway. Its population is around 30,000. Overview of current state of Fairway Metro: (location of Ellwood City circled) Ellwood City is in the ring of new development that I have been working on in my spare time. Mostly rural areas outside of Fairway Metro. I have highlighted in white the area I have been developing over the last few months. Ellwood City has a small town feel with the attitude of a big city. With the recent rise in development around New Humboldt, Ellwood City has thrived with several highway connections to the main road network of Fairway. (and possibly more to come ) Here is an aerial view of Ellwood City. And a closer look at Central Ellwood: The city has started a new road project to re-rout the North/South mainline through the city. It currently is following an old out of date line and splits the highway into two segments. The new alignment will allow a straight shot out of town to the existing intersection. Project area: Proposed route with modifications to city streets: Construction begins: New route in place: Paving beginning: A new signaled intersection: (The old barn is being saved by the City for a new Farmers Market/Library complex.) Planned modifications to city streets at Fire Dept: Completed modifications: Paving finished: New City Farm Market and Public Library: After completion, it was noticed that the new roundabout at the Fire Dept. was not working well. A new alignment is planned: And complete: I hope to showcase some more of Ellwood City soon. I am off of work for the week and weekend! SO I plan lots of SC4 time! No real news on the Ring Road Project yet though. I may tackle that this week. Its kind of a mess right now..... , But you will know when I do!! But New Humboldt is not dead! It is still growing A LOT! The region has a population of 2.6 million sims at present time. Its my biggest yet! Stay tuned for more!!! Thanks! --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 An updated Transit map of Greater Claxton with the work area highlighted. Thanks for viewing! See you next time! -CityNut607
