Jeronij - the rural paths are brilliant and look very realistic as they climb the mountain (actually all of your work with the mountsides is amazing) - Biniaraix looks so tranquil!

Jeronij im totaly in awe dropping here.  I so loved the shot with rail bridge and the industrial area underneath. 
Does the road in that shot go under the bridge or is that to the minds imagination???

Awesome CJ. Can't wait for the next part. Just wanted to check if there was anything new before I leave for the airport in 30 mins. Going to Barcelona for a week.

Great CJ!

Fantastic update !!! 0_o you're the god of simcity !!

Amazing CJ, jeronij.  Your rural and natural areas are beautiful

I love this MD.
Great industrial development, although the houses down stream may not have a lot of water pollution teh cement industry will certainly know some dust problems as the wind of the waterfall blows all the dust right to the houses!

That residential strip is just lovely.

BTW did you notice your cash flow? AIGO cement factories increase the budget significantly!

I don't know how you do it. This is a great MD! Now I have to go back and look at MY waterfalls.

Great MD, jeronij!  Your style of building has always been interesting to me!

Hello dear Gran Canyon visitors, and thanks for you kind coments and feedback 

I want to excuse me for the delay between updates, but there are soooooo many things that require my attention lately ... 

Anyway, time for some pictures... this time Mayor Jeroni confronts to a serious challenge..

A highway is crossing the city tile.



There is an easy way to connect to one of the neighbor cities...



But the conection to the other city will require some serious terraforming....



After some "try and fail", this is the final shape that the highway takes...



Unforutnately the curve options are quite limited for highways....



And I wanted to make it look somehow credible...well, from some perspectives it looks better 



Time for some general views on the development so far...





And now time to start detailing the area... first some walls and trees....



And as you can perfectly see, the final result...oh wait.... what it with the zoom ¡¡¡



Zoom 4 please, zoom 4....



Thank you, now you can see the water treatment plant that was placed in that difficult to access place in the middle of the highway...



There is some more detailing left in the area....



And my favourite one on this area...



But I thought I could show these pictures already 

I hope you like them, I dont have much time to reply you one by one, but you can be sure that I enjoyed every one of your post, and I do really appreciate your support and kind words 

See you next update

That is quite the highway route, jeronij! And I love the farms that are inside the highway loop! Great work, my friend!

It just doesn't get any better than a day when you give us a GC update, jeroni!



That is some honkin' elevation change while maintaining that nice smooth grade.

its probably very close to the maximum gradient threshold for cliffs, either way some amazig shots there...

I love your work. One of my favorite SC4 pasttimes is terraforming highways and roads along difficult and steep terrain. It's my favorite challenge. Beautiful waterfalls and farms and, well, just about everything. 

[bat]

wonderful terraforming and great highway! Fantastic pictures, jeronij!

[samlee860407]

another great update from jeronij!!!   

it certainly gives me more idea on building the wonderful highway

[kwakelaar]

Nice update with the incredible highway going down the mountain.
