Bridges?

[jfjohnny5]

Are there any bridge types other than the Girder? Suspension bridges would be awesome, along with maybe Truss bridges, and possibly Trestle for rail.

I guess technically this would be a feature request unless they're already in there. In which case, does anyone know how to get them? Thanks!


Edit: Post #42! Woot! Obviously that makes this post "the answer"

This was requested during Alpha.. all the bridges look the same and are boring. No one seems to be missing underwater tunnels.. these are essential for ny big city.

It was requested during Alpha? Was it ever commented on by a Dev with a solid "Yes" or "No"?

At the risk of being yelled at for floating my own post, does anyone know if it's expected that the mod tools might allow for adding different bridge types? I can't find a lot of info on what's going to be in the mod tools. (And bridges are awesome!)

And bridges are awesome!

They sure are.

They certainly keep your feet dry anyway I would like to see more variety in the bridge types, although the way you build bridges i don't see how you would be able to choose between different bridge types.

Well since a bridge is a road segment, I would think it might go something like this:

Select the road segment (bridge) you want to adjust.
From the info window that pops up choose from a list of options.

Maybe some options would only be available if the segment was at least x meters up and/or at least y meters long or something like that. It's all cosmetic anyway. The road functionality (# of lanes, type of lanes, etc) is all defined elsewhere.
