I would like to request, if it is even viable, a minuature, possibly shortened, or modular version of this structure.  It was built to shield residents of the small town of Goldbach, Germany from all the autobahn noise they where getting from Aschaffenburg and Frankfurt bound traffic on the A3.

I am not really looking for a direct replica, perhaps just some modular pieces I can slap together to make my own sound tunnel.  A slight park effect would simulate the reduced noise polution and exaust fumes.

Oh, and an interesting note.  I believe I read that they are planning on covering the entire roof of the tunnel with solar pannels!  Graffiti is pretty common too, though slightly less than you might expect if you've lived in Germany.  I actually like graffiti and am dissapointed to see a big ugly stretch of gray concrete wall with only the occcasional tag.

While I have no experience with designing SC4 stuff, I can help translate anything of provide source material.  I have some video footage of my own as I was visiting a few years ago.

birdseye view will show you a lot, but the top down satalite images were taken before the construction was over.

I like the idea of a covered highway. If I remember correctly, someone made something like this that goes over roads, and bixel made a park that covers a Maxis ground highway.

What if you have pieces that have graffiti and some plain concrete?
