The Ouse River Bridge,
It's far away from my town of Beaufort South Carolina, as for this one I had to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and head Center East of United Kingdom near Goole.
Thanks to a local player who asked me if I can design that bridge, as the one in the game was flat with the cars driving under it, I tried to find as many informations as I can, from pictures to Engineer reports.
Here are some facts about it.
It was buit between 1973 and 1976. Made of 29 spans for a total length of 1340m , it's a 2 times 3 lanes, with a breakdown lane or Hard Shoulder as it is called in England. Those last months of 2022, the traffic was very disturbed as two of the North bound lanes were closed due to some metal plate oxydation. The bridge cross over some fields and over the 270m wide Ouse River.
To install it just unzip the "PhilUSA-OuseBridge.zip" file in your community folder.
The M62 traffic goes across it on the 6 lanes. It's a flight simulator, but for those of you who miss driving, you can land on it and taxy to the other side.
The last version extend the design to the signs on the the side of the road over a mile before the bridge. There is a flashing signal system that lights up when the wind goes above 30 km/h.
As all of my Sceneries, it's handcrafted, not a Google earth import
Enjoy that bridge, and if you like it or see something to improve ( there is a lot) let me know. There is a Paypal link below, and every little donation is a big thank you for the hours of work.

Thanks for you appreciation. As I live on the other side of the Atlantic, I can't say how accurate it is. My infos were from internet. If you like it and have some stars for it, I will appreciate. After a couple months, it is still a 0/5 which is pretty sad compare to the time put in it to make it handcrafted and not a Google earth import as many other bridges we can found here.

For the contraflow I read while I was trying get as much informations as I can on the bridge, that the bridge is fixed and the flow is back to normal. Isn't it?
For the fast food, seriously, you want a drive in in the middle of the bridge? LOL
Thanks Ashley58 for you comment. If you think that the scenery deserve some stars, please give me some.

Hi phil,
here is some info for the road signage
when i pass over it on one of the big blue boards it says
m62 Leeds
Manchester
m1 south
London
what would look good if you can animate a sign from the met office saying
weather warning,s in effect flashing yellow or scrolling right text
then there is another sign at the bottom west bound saying
m62 service,s 12 mile
and this sign in blue
police speed check area
there is a layby near the bottom phil
you could place a polce car in there with blue lights flashing.
regards
