Default tram bridge construction trick

Want to throw a bridge over a road for your tram , so that traffic on the road does not have to stop for the tram , and the tram does not have to stop for road traffic , but the tram plugin does not include a bridge ?

You may have noticed that when you lay the default road in the game across a body of water , the road automatically builds a bridge across the water.

This also works at least for some player - made tram plugins ! :)

Pause the game , use the bulldozer to demolish the road tile you want the bridge to cross , and bulldoze one tile each , each side of that road tile.

Now go to terrain , and put a water tile on the demolished road tile , and the two tiles either side of it.

Now lay your tram over the water.

It will automatically build a tram bridge.

Now go back and replace the water tile with a road tile.

You now have your tram crossing the road over a bridge. :)

There are probably other ways to accomplish this , but this is one trick for doing it that I have discovered. :bc

Grrr , it doesn't work. :(

Tram bridge built automatically when I laid tram line across river.

But it did not work when I temporarily made road into stream. :(

Moderator should send thread to trash . :(

This only works if it already allows building a bridge.
Here's a trick that does work: building a bridge for the road, instead.
