Roads over water but no bridges

I don't know what you're describing here... You built a road. It only becomes a bridge if you put the water under it. This is not a road over water, there's land under it still.

Maybe you're describing what to me has been obvious since day one? And you just noticed it now? If so, hey glad you figured something out, i hope it helps with your town designing!

Incidentally, they're called causeways, in real life. Used a lot in swampy areas, like Louisiana and Florida in the US.

Happy tapping!

I think I know where is the confusion. If you create water and then add a road it will immediately create a bridge/causeway.
Same way if you have a road and add water it will create a bridge/causeway.

It doesn't used to be that easy. I remember before that to have bridges you had to create water, then add the road, and then add water again.

AHA! I see now, thanks, ex-neighbor.

JN is right, they've made a change. In the pic below, i made each of these roads by starting at the pavement where Patty is standing, and dragged straight out.

It used to be, they all behaved the same, creating a CAUSEWAY into the water. Now it appears the roadway automatically creates a BRIDGE. THIS IS NEW.

I appreciate this change, it is easier. But it's ironic, before we had people posting they're surprised they could make a bridge. Now they're surprised they can make the causeway with road.

I sent you a friend req, JN. Glad to see you back on the forum. If you have space, be glad to join your neighborhood again too!
