cities skylines how to make elevated roads

Elevation of road is a solution when the cost acquiring of extra land to build extra lanes or change corridor reaches astronomical levels or will face legal challenges.įor those proposing subways, I wonder why no proposal has even been tabled by the government agencies or to them even by the many consultants who come even from countries with subways.

It terms of aesthetics and blending with natural beauty of the area, thats an engineering and design issue. Below the elevated road, there will be a road for cars accessing the CBD through Haile selasie and Kenyatta avenue (or those going onwards but don't want to be tolled), it will have a BRT on the ground too and that road will be busy, so I don't see how homeless people will be leaving there. If they also build elevated walkways they solve the problem of access to the park. Lets not make the same mistakes that other cities in the developed world did.Įlevetaded road on Uhuru highway is not exactly cutting through the CBD but on the edge of CBD separating the CBD and the park. I think by the mid 2020s they'll have finished getting rid of elevated roads. Its just that that particular road was instead transformed to an elevated walkway/garden. It used to be an elevated road which was converted into a walkway.Įver since I moved to Seoul in 2010 they've been demolishing elevated roads.Īnd it seems they have kept doing so. Build a subway cause there is already demand.Expand Uhuru highway into 4 lanes with space for BRT and with wide sidewalks.

Build alternative roads, depending on a single road (two including outering) connecting the northern and southern part of the city is what is known as bad planning.And that space will eventually be filled and it'll get ugly.Īnd also under those roads it always looks really bad. An elevated road will just increase the amount of space that cars will pass on. For the 100th time elevated roads wont guarantee the end of traffic.
