Ground level to elevated?

[GmanUK1965]

I've got a ground level highway but I need to elevate it for a section so it can go over railway lines but the game wont let me.

I'm thinking that I need NAM mod but I am struggling to install this.

[GmanUK1965]

Sussed it.
I managed to install NAM too

You just need to click and drag and build an elevated highway toward the end of a ground highway and the game should automatically build a transition.

You can do the same thing with avenues and highways to build a transition from highway to avenue.

Is that with or without mods? And is the same true with elevated to ground railway?

Without mods.

The elevated railway in the base game is the same network as subways, and the two can be connected with a special transition piece that needs to be placed. Ground railways are separate and cannot be connected with subways/elevated rail.

Nice to know, thanks!

Why couldn't your reply to this second question be as simple as your reply to the first one?! Yeah, I was already well aware of that "special transition piece" for subway to elevated rail. However, it's NOT in the base game, after all, why would it be?!?!?! There's no elevated rail in the base game for starters!!! That's Rush Hour / Deluxe content and of course actually has a "special transition piece" unlike Avenues to Highways, whether that be the base elevated kind or the RH / Deluxe ground kind. Avenues are also not in the base game.

With how poorly implemented One Way Roads are (which hopefully I don't have to derail this thread further by explaining how that is to you), it never occurred to me maybe ground and elevated Highways (much less Avenues as well) could be connected that way simply by dragging one to the other, so it made me hopeful that perhaps the same's also true with rail. Though, despite it making more sense to me in a normal sense than Avenues to Highways, unfortunately I guess I can see why that wouldn't be the case in a game logicy sense given subway and ground rail were always separate in the base game, therefore since elevated rail and subway are both passenger only whereas ground rail is mixed, it makes more sense to combine elevated rail to subway than ground rail. I guess also Roads and therefore Avenues were already technically part of the same system as Highways via on / off ramps unlike subway to ground rail.

Yeah just to be clear when I say "base game" I mean deluxe edition without mods. The transition piece for going between elevated rail and subways is available in the same tab as bus stops.

I decided to confirm the Avenue and Highway stuff for myself last night and it's indeed true. In fact you can even click and drag Ground Highway to upgrade Avenues straight into them, though not Elevated Highway for some reason even if you're trying it over Elevated Highway.
