Nickel Plate Bridge

Description
Well I decided to make a small bridge after having some set backs with my other project. A nice urban steel plate girder bridge. I made it so that 2 way roads, train tracks, pedestrian paths and probably some other road types will fit nicely inside. The asset hovers above the ground so that it will not have any concrete base below it. This allows you to have some cool land to land bridges and such.

The Required mods are Road Anarchy which can be found in Sharp Junctions mod or if you have another Road Anarchy mod. Then you also need No Pillars which comes with the No Pillars mod or Network Skins.

WHERE TO FIND?
In the Trains menu

HOW TO PLACE
First Level the ground. Place the bridge. I've built it so that 9m high will fit level with it. So this will require Fine Road Heights Mod. Then enable road anarchy, Select your road type such as train track, Select No Collision/No Zoning option for No Pillars mod, I also believe sharper junction automatically has no collision on but I'm not entirely sure about that. Then you can select no pillars for the network skins option for elevated. Now you can place down your track right over the bridge with snapping turn off. I also found that afterwards you can move the asset actually and rotate if need be to get a perfectly aligned fit.

If you want some pillars at the end just make the track over the bridge first, then turn on pillars again and connect from the sides and that should give you end pillars on each side of the bridge. Might take some work to get it right.

Once everything is set you can use Extra Landscaping Tools mod to lower the land below it but don't go to far to the edges of the asset or it will drop down. Have Fun and Enjoy! It's a lot easier than it sounds to place down.

Absolutely love this bridge. Any chance of a shorter version as well?

The update broke the collision box. Now it leaves a huge gap in the terrain. Can you fix this please?

Matt, This is absolutely beautiful!. Thank you! It will add a nice touch to my train bridges. Can I request one minor change? Can you add edit points to the ends? I have some bridges that are not level and when dropping this under a bridge I cannot raise one side without the other following using move it.

How can I change the height? Would be great if you could move it around with "move it" mod and change height...

This one is great and i would love to see more, such as a arch bridge or even better, a rail cable stayed bridge/suspension bridge. Good work btw. :)
