Hey Sam. Love this build. It's amazing. I have one suggestion for realism. For the buoys, they should one of two things. Yellow to indicate an area of caution. That's a special purpose buoy. Or they should be red and green. So I imagine that Al Sammor is based on a middle east style city. The middle East conforms to a system called IALA A (IALA - International Association of Lighthouse Authorities). IALA A (vs IALA B) says that when you are returning from sea you will have red buoys on your left side and green buoys on your right side. (IALA B is the opposite). So my suggestion is change the buoys to red and green. Great city. I can't wait for each new episode. So great to watch and very inspiring. Thanks a lot!

There’s a bridge like this where I live called the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge. It’s the longest sea crossing in the world, cost millions of dollars to build and is used by about... no one. Not even before corona. Many Hongkongers consider it the biggest tax waste of our money yet, and many more think it acts like an “umbilical cord” connecting Hong Kong to China. But this bridge is great!!

Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line is this same setup and format as this. The exensive toll gate is on the little island as you cross the bay.

Ah, just like all of the Bridge-Tunnels in Hampton Roads, Virginia, USA. There's the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the Midtown Tunnel (Norfolk, VA), I-664 Monitor Merrimac Bridge-Tunnel, and the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. Great work like always!

That's around where I live and I remember when I was a kid I loved driving across those!

I like the realism and character of a bridge tunnel instead of a long tunnel in this city. IRL, there are several bridge-tunnels near the American city of Norfolk, Virginia, constructed to allow naval vessels to exit the Chesapeake Bay if the bridge is attacked, and as a cheaper alternative to a long tunnel to serve that purpose.

When i see the intro, the first thing that i remember is the denmark-sweden bridge. Im not an european so sorry if im wrong

I have seen other youtubers make even a small intersection look unnatural.. And here you are making an underground Water tunnel looking so natural and believable... Great work...

For detailing in high wind areas it’s traditional to plant trees in dense groups so the outer trees protect the inner ones. This arrangement allows trees but produces a windswept look/patter of trees

Sam, great job. On the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel, on one of the four man made islands is a fishing pier, gift shop, and restaurant. It sits in the middle of the mouth of the bay. The two sets of tunnels were built because a bridge could be used by saboteurs to block the entrance to the bay which houses the USNavy bases. Its kind of surreal fishing there when an air craft carrier slips by just feet away. Thank you for doing the episode. Cheers.

Not first! Wait I am. Here's the good comment you were looking for: Sam, here's the things about bridges and tunnels. Tunnels are supposed to have little turns, which should all be light. The underwater tunnel resembles the Hong Hum Tunnel in Hong Kong, which is a great representaion. The bridges should stay straight for longer stretches of water and only curve on land or barely above ground or when they get to an island. I like what you did there. So far, Al Sammor is looking really good. Keep it up!

I might actually implement this idea in my own cities. Thanks, Sam.

Here in Australia "Buoy" is usually pronounced Boy (or simply called a (Where X is the type of buoy i.e. Port, Starboard, channel, etc) A [X] Marker, or in a Yacht Race it's simply (Depending on the course but usually with a Olympic Triangle course, Where X = Top, Bottom, Leeward or Windward) "The [X] Mark", but the Yanks tend to pronounce "Buoy" something like 'Booee'.

This looks so realistic, you are genius.!

This bridge tunnel looks fantastic! Great build ☺️

Really very nice job. I am surprised more people haven't used them in their cities. Looks great!

Move-It Mod: Highlight four nodes (high to low) and then CTRL+S; this will give you a smooth, natural slope.

Love this idea, I have an casino island I just made in my city with only ferry connections but this bridge idea might just have to make an appearance too! Thanks for the inspiration great video!

Looks awesome, love the concept. Would love to see an underwater tunnel interchange sometime. Can you please list the mods you're using for this build. Some I know but can't guess the others. Cheers.

Much like what the Øresundsbron does.

This is one of the best and most unique builds I've seen in CS. Great work!

Looks freaking awesome. I wish I had your patience. None of my cities ever look that detailed. I just cant do it.

10:35 Pronunciation in English = boy US pronunciation = boo-ee With large projects like this it would be good to show a real life example, as I can imagine not a lot of people have ever seen a bridge-tunnel. In this case the Øresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark. Maybe you can even make it a thing where you build something complex in CS and tell about the real world design. I'm not sure if you can work with something like Google maps without copyright problems however.

That’s really cool, I’m goin to try it in my new city

I absolutely love this!

There is a bridge like this in Norfolk, Virginia. US Navy vessels pass over the highway sometimes

😳 Wow, that's really impressive! I might try and do this. One thing that I wish I could have seen it was from a first person perspective... 😏

This looks so cool

Holy crap, just like the Hong kong - Macau link Wow-

This was quite good. I insist you download arabic graffity packs to smudge up your structures.

coolest thing i'v ever seen.

It does look really good

Beautiful

I love it! You should put a lighthhouse on the island just below the tunnel entrance

Yasss!!! You did it!❤ I love that idea.😁

Your bridge-tunnel complex looks great. It reminds me of a lot of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel complex in Virginia, except that complex doesn't have a cable-stayed bridge.

Chesapeake Bay in the US resembles the idea

Well, I see that bridge is like "Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao" bridge, but obviously is not open before, is open in 2018, another example bridge: this bridge is also similar to this bridge, but no, I live in Hong Kong. sorry, I think Europe has a bridge, same as Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge.

Since we are naming tunnel-bridges, theres always the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel-Bridges

that's an engineering masterpiece, some of the infrastructure makes it really look like this place is somewhere in europe or in eastern asia

Not a huge fan of this series, but this episode was some good stuff. I like what you did and how you did it, looks fantastic.

You could also consider adding rock armour to a structure like this. Normally this sort of structure requires protection from storm waves in the form of large boulders. :)

In the Netherlands we call them "an aquaduct". We use them for highways as well as regular type of roads.

Mixed bridge and subsea tunnel. A submerged floating tube bridge would also have been cool.

You see this pretty often in the Netherlands its called an aquaduct.

In Québec, when we want to go to Montreal, there's many way, and one of them is Le Pont-Tunnel Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine, or translate to Bridge-Tunnel Louis-H.-La Fontaine

So, this structure is called a Bridge-Tunnel, or sometimes just a Fixed Link. Not really a special and for it. Also, there does not need to be a higher part of boats, it is just there on most examples. It is absent on the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, a road I used to go on often when we lived in Norfolk.

this video gave me an idea for my reclaimed island😍 just like the tunnel highway in Hong Kong link to China

Hey Sam Big Fan of yours! I have a idea you should make Basrah tram station an interchange station with A monorail to Florence district and eventually the airport so it will ease the traffic on the airport highway and the airport will have more connectivity to Bur Sheeva and Safeed

I have part tunnel/bridge highways in my city too they are pleasant looking.

"140 kph might be too fast" me: **looks at South Dakota with its 80 mph (130 kph) speed limit that people treat as 85 mph (140is kph)**

This is probably how the Scotland-Northern Ireland Bridge will look like

Louis Hyppolite Lafontaine bridge tunnel in Montreal is pretty much the same scale as yours

There is a place in Copenhagen called midelfart it is something like what you are making here has a little lighthouse on both ends of the land

Your first pronunciation of buoy was correct. Like booē

Sambur, can you build "litte ultra lux secret bay-like tourist area"? or "middle eastern village with small lake"? Camel, date trees, goats.... every city has village like this... I think second option is cool... because thiiisss map Al-arabic map... With my best wishes...

I've been wondering for a minute how possible this would be in C:S!! 🤬 Granted I play on console vanilla so it would be significantly more difficult using no mods but still ... I'm impressed by your accomplishment. #gg 💯

I built a bridge tunnel for a city build recently, albeit as an interesting way to span rivers and mixed terrain heights and christened it 'The Brunnel'. If these exist in real life and aren't also called brunnels I am frankly disappointed in humanity.
