Easiest way to make a gradient loop helix without cliffs

What I want to do is make a helix loop because of two routes I joined together having different heights. But, when I use the smooth tool to raise land under the track on the helix, then it just creates a narrow curved strip of land under the track with vertical cliffs, how do I do something similar to Tehachapi Loop where it has sloping embankments and not this track in the sky effect? I could try raising ground inside of the loop to start. How do I get rid of the vertical cliffs where the two routes joined?

You could use a combination of smoothing tool and an embankment spline under the track. Embankment splines are very handy when you need tracks of different heights adjacent to each other.
I use J_embankment set, usually <kuid:211147:37094> j_embankment GG_GS 1/1 0-5m 1t
