metasmurf: Thank you!

Girafe: Well, commie blocks are usually lifeless...

Ett litet handelsområde har byggts tillsammans med Östergårdas första Ikeabutik. Längst till vänster skymtar det nybyggda sjukhuset.
A small shopping area, with Östergårda's first IKEA store. To the far left you can also see the newly constructed hospital.

Eftersom motorvägen skurit av många småvägar så har man byggt en överfart som sammanbinder de mindre vägarna.
An overpass, since several small roads were cut off due to the completion of the motorway.

Nice updates.

[greckman]

Jag gillar! 
You have such a unique building style, riiga and it looks very nice.

[io_bg]

Nice update If I were you, I'd add a reinforcing wall on that road overpass, it looks pretty steep. And maybe that RHWxAvenue intersection could be made a little bit more compact?
Looking forward to the next update!

Nice work ! I like the atmosphere you recreate on these picture !

nbvc: Thank you!

greckman: Thank you very much!

io_bg: Thanks! As for the wall, it's my jagged edges mod that makes it look so steep, and adding retaining walls would make the road have wealth textures.    The interchange I could make more compact, though I quite like the FARHW ramps. Perhaps in the future when the surrounding areas are more urban and in need of space. 

Yan077: Thanks!

Dags för ännu en överblick, den här gången 1978. Största skillnaderna är motorvägen och de utanförliggande bostadsområdena.
Time for an overview, this time of 1978. Major changes include the completion of the motorway and external residential areas.

That overview picture shows some good planning skills. The fact that your commieblock areas lie next to farms out of the central parts is very realistic (at least in Swedish terms).

Precis för decenieskiftet så försökte man med att bygga lite W2W-byggnader för att förtäta staden och förhindra sprawl.
Just before the turn of the decade, there was a try at expanding the city with medium density zoning to prevent sprawl.



Handelsområdet utökas med senaste nytt från Amerikas förenta stater, nämligen en s.k. mall.
The small shopping area is growing with the construction of a mall.





På grund av breddad järnväg har man beslutat att bygga en överfart.
Construction of an overpass due to the now widened railroad.


Man lade också om sträckningen i samband med detta och provade även att göra om den till motortrafikled.
The road was also re-aligned and a test stretch for Östergårda's first "motortrafikled" (RHW-2).

Your city is GREAT my friend ! I like the old pics, great job 

[Fresh Prince of SC4D]

Great updates riiga . Also is that EU textures for the Rural Roads I see?

[io_bg]

Nice construction pics! And those RHW2 textures look great

[Skimbo]

Theese RHW2-textures.... great!

And nice updates =)

[Ciuu96]

Yet another great update! The photoshopping and the way you build are both awesome, as always!  That RHW-2 texture also looks really good, are you planning to release it at some point?

[noahclem]

Great updates!    You use RHW relatively simply but very eloquently. Your neighborhoods of all types are turning out great and the semi-rural feel of the areas works great!

[aemilius_sc4]

Hey, long time reader but never replied here, anyway I just love your road layout and its (awesome) textures. The city planing/building is very accturate to the specific time/decade in every update, really great! Thanks a bunch for your MD. 

[RickD]

Great roads. Very interesting update. 

[Battlecat]

The last few updates look fantastic as always!

[penguin007]

Great update love your use of the RHW2 and its european textures
