I hardly believe than I am the only one here who is getting tired of not having more options for building bridges. The current system allows us only three choices, and we have little to no control over them without the use of mods. It has been nearly four years now and nothing has been done to rectify this creative constraint. This really hit me revisiting older titles such as SimCity 4 and Transport Tycoon - these games have a functional mechanic for building a multitude of bridges and Cities Skylines does not.
Modding has long shown now that large and complex bridges are a possibility within the engine (even draw-able bridges have been created by some), so there is technically nothing that stops a better mechanic from being part of the vanilla game (No DLC, please)
I propose a new mechanic that allows the player to control the bridge building process and provide them with many more options in term of style and functionality. Mainly the ability to control the deck layout and type of bridge is what I want from such a mechanic.
Example of bridges that could be implemented:
Double-Decker bridges - San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge
Combined Rail and Road - Oresund Bridge
Large Suspension Bridges - Akasi Kaikyo, Great Belt, Hardanger, Verrazzano-Narorws, Millau, etc.
Legendary Bridges (Monument Bridges) - Golden Gate, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Tower Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Forth Bridge etc.
