Can bridges be used as tunnels?

As per the title, I'm curious if anyone has tried it out before. Since bridges have their own routing data independent of the terrain and routing paints, can bridges therefore be used to create a tunnel, provided that both ends are above ground (and the terrain above it is painted non routable, like painting under a bridge), and will they go through objects that are within the boundaries of the bridge such as the train tunnel entrances from WA?

Is this feasible, or does it create a glitchy mess?

  • I would think for a bridge to actually be useable, it'd have to be connected to the road system.

    Scroll down to Custom Roads and Sidewalks Tips - No layered roads.

    Then there is this little world with a tunnel, but I'm not sure if it works - http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=419136

    You could try to place a bunch of objects together to create a sort of tunnel...thinking a row of these arches (forgot the name in caw for them but from Monte Vista).

    Nilxis uses the train tunnels to make a tunnel (it works image 3) as well as a road going through a lot (also works image 12). Pics here - http://nilxisdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/05/plavi-raj-english.html

    There is this from Tjstreak - https://tjstreakssims.blogspot.com/2011/11/tunnels.html?q=tunnel

    And you have the rock formations that sims can walk under..the opening is kind of skinny so doubt a road under it would look right. http://simswiki.info/wiki.php%3Ftitle%3DSims_3:Content_Lists:CAW_Content_Lists#Rocks
