Road Lift Bridge
- Thread starter stouthm
- Start date
I know Ben Dorsey made a rail lift bridge, modelled on the one at Tocumwal NSW in Australia, but I'm not sure if he made the road version of it as well. The rail version is used in VR Goulburn Murray lines (all versions of the route) and the kuid of any road lift bridge would be close to that one.
Look for a double track railroad bridge. They are just wide enough for a two lane road. I have used several in my current project. You can lay a road just above the rails on the bridge. Yarns roads do a good job of hiding the rails. If you find a rail bridge you like try looking at the config file and use a road kuid for the bridgetrack if you have that option. The good thing about a rail bridge is you can use the bridge support track-objects to attach bridge supports that don't need excessive maneuvering to get it just right. Hope this helps.

Same as version 51 but converted to a highway bridge that will open at the approach
of a boat that has been set up as a locomotiove running on the invisible track in
the water.
