Walt Whitman Bridge

God hates the Schuylkill Expressway.


Opened 1967, the Walt Whitman Bridge spans the Delaware River, linking the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) to the New Jersey Turnpike and other local destinations in New Jersey. It has a main span of 2,000 feet (610 meters) and carries 7 lanes of traffic with a movable zipper barrier.

This model is roughly dimensionally accurate, you have four tiles to work with across the width of the bridge, though it squeezes down a bit at each tower. The length and height are identical to real life (280 meters anchorage to tower, 610 meters between towers, total length from outer end of anchorages = 1170 meters, or 146.25 tiles. Height from base of tower to road deck varies between 39 meters at the anchorages, 45 meters at the towers, and 50 meters at the center of the span.)

Though in real life the "Walt Wit" is strictly a highway bridge, this asset is presented as the "Walt Witout" -- there are no networks included so you may add your own. Pedestrian paths, trams, trains, whatever, if it fits it works.

Some form of Road Anarchy mod is required to use this asset, and Network Node Editor is invaluable. (RICO conflicts with it, use RICO testing instead!) Also invaluable: Fine Road Tool to get the slopes right, and Network Skins to get rid of those pesky pillars.
Sub-Buildings Enabler is an absolute dependency.

Poly stats: 12,000 tris each half. 3000 tris in the LOD model. This is a "signature span" -- don't place a whole bunch. Textures are 1024 x 1024.
