Building the GREATEST Public Works Project in HISTORY in Cities Skylines! | Clearwater County 73
Hello everyone and welcome back to Clearwater County! Secretary Timmons has just been notified that the state has been given funding to build an interstate through Superior! In this episode, we're going to work to convert our existing US highway to an Interstate - reusing right of way where we can, and doing what needs to be done where we cant. We'll build MILES of highway and add multiple interchanges to the city. We'll also build a new US highway linking the Interstate to a community a little ways off from the important highway.
This might be one of the biggest single-episode highway projects taken on in Cities Skylines. Enjoy!

@richrichard6520 Год назад

Quite the project, pretty amazing. What you did here reminds me of how US1 was constructed thru Delaware and Maryland to provide an interstate that quasi parallels the old Route 13. Some new construction, some updates to old, etc. In many cases though you can see the old route 13 which was left for local use including bridges. Way faster nowadays but I can also only imagine how many local businesses like family restaurants, gas stations, etc went out of business as a result of them now being bypassed... Also, a Quickchek, Wawa, or 7-11, and Speedway and a motel off the intersections would be fitting as well I think.

@KV_415 Год назад

hello fellow red badge >:)

@dinosaurbob3913 Год назад

Good point! What' s needed are those motels and fast food joints just off the interchanges... with signs along the highway starting a few miles away to direct the tired and hungry to the most expensive places in the middle of nowhere!

@CityPlannerPlays Год назад

It's super sad when you see it in action. Wisconsin has been dying to extend I-39 north to Minocqua for years and has been grade-separating at-grade crossings during reconstructions. Businesses die, property values go down..... but safety on the highway goes up, travel times go down, and the drive just gets a ton more comfortable. Interestingly, the stretch they want to convert to an interstate was a bi-directional US highway within my lifetime. Shows you have quickly things can change!

@copyrightedperson8157 Год назад

Hello CPP! Great video just some quick mentions. - On the Downtown Shorewood exit there is only one Through lane in both directions and that is affecting your traffic flow -While I haven’t been on this highway ever. I-84 between Portland and Boise is just beautiful in the Columbia river gorge -One interesting quirk about this map is that everything is backwards so going east on the highway has the lake to the south of you instead of what it should be. -One awesome detail you could do to make it look more realistic (although it may take a while) is road signs! Both lots of billboards and even directional signs (like mileage markers, exit signs, and highway shields). I’ve seen some amazing stuff built with them. -A lot of what you mentioned goes into a highway construction project is very similar to what happens in my home state of PA in fact where I live they are reconstructing several sections of I-83 so that’s cool. Again great video and excited to see more!

@a_boat93 Год назад

Awesome awesome episode; infrastructural stuff is always a favorite of mine. And you definitely addressed a major need so this was worth the wait. I like the adjustments on the (future) port side of the map. I can kinda see the potential vision for future growth on that side…possibly a new suburb or two as Van Buren sprawls to support the current industry and port as they’d likely benefit greatly from the new interstate tremendously. I am curious…have you ever considered building a new commercial airport considering how far away it is to get to the current one from Van Buren?

@viceadmiralparry9814 Год назад

Van Buren definitely needs better airport access, but I think that would be better solved by running a more direct connection to the current one. Right now you need to either go thru Belmont or Ashland to get there, or take your chances with the barely paved backcountry roads running in between (If that’s even possible, it’s been a while). A direct connection to the new interstate from the airport would be very helpful for all involved, methinks.

@a_boat93 Год назад

@@viceadmiralparry9814 I agree with you 100%; I’m just unsure about the terrain; that side of that map seems to be the most challenging. But I’ve been thinking the same thing you have for quite some time now.

@CityPlannerPlays Год назад

I have been going back and forth on what the area should be, but I think I'm leaning towards industry/airport/port near the new interchange and an expansion of Johnson Creek with suburban development to serve it. But let's keep that between you and me

@a_boat93 Год назад

@@CityPlannerPlays hey man I got you 🤐 lol. Real talk tho, that would be an awesome way to consolidate those land uses into one area; creates a nice logistical hub for the county and quite frankly for the region as at this point y’all would have surpassed Duluth in importance by now. it will certainly make for a very interesting series of builds.

I enjoy CPP so much, for all I have learned from you (water pipes underneath the roads, right where they belong), but couldn't help but notice... @0:15 map you have Ashland to the West of Van Buren. But in the Clearwater County Map (@4:05), if the water at the bottom of the screen (ie Superior Lake) is to the North of both Ashland & Van Buren, then that makes Ashland to be East of Van Buren. I hate to be so pedantic but couldn't help noticing - despite a few holiday champagnes! Whilst this is my first CPP video comment, been a long time fan so I have to say thank you for the hundreds of hours of enjoyment your channel has brought!

@Havingfun0 Год назад

I am a so cal native. We have some of the highest used per capita interstates in the nations, the 405 and 5. I love driving them. I love the connections to others highways the most and I always felt like this game just did not give me the tools to make the connection from the 5 to the 405 of the insane connections in LA. This video even though it is not a tutorial really helped me understand how the modding tolls can help me. You are living and working in the Great Lakes region, but I am sure California is a case study for vehicle infrastructure during your education. I would love a non video game type video, something like “how I would improve California’s vehicle infrastructure.” Traffic cost us incalculable amount of money. (For those reading this far who know what I am talking about might say “hey red there are calculations” my point is it is hard to calculate a productive individual’s happiness and life quality in dollars and cents.) In my opinion it would be entertaining it could expand your audience and it would be a fun exercise in county planning. In this scenario I would limit from LA county to OC county. Stopping at military base Camp Pendleton.

@bobgrey6137 Год назад

It's nice seeing a proper freeway here! You can definitely tell it is designed by someone from the Midwest, though, still building cloverleaf interchanges. One issue I can see which would pose a serious safety issue is the use of bridges versus landscaping. The region this is in is quite cold and windy, and gets very snowy and icy in the winter. Bridges are not safe in these conditions, especially on curves. The benefit of landscaping here, while being more expensive, is that trees can block some wind, and the ground allows snow and ice to melt quicker. This highway would effectively be shut down for 3-6 months of the year due to the bridges.

Hello!

@franistan9867 Год назад

Love it!!! Two things near that last janky parclo: 1. With the slopes involed, you might want the interstate to go above the local road rather than alternating between underpasses and bridges. Feels like there is a lot of popping up and down around there. 2. Along the mountainside, you should have the two sides of the interstate be at different heights, like you did earlier in the episode. One side may have slightly steeper slopes but it won't be so much blasting. And one other note in general, you should keep some variation in slopes where the terrain is relatively flat. It seems weird the dot would bother to smooth out an area that's already well within limits. And check out I-68 through Western Maryland and WV.... curvy 9% slopes. Similar for western PA I-76 and I-80 but I don't think that's as extereme.

But despite my personal opinion on cars the fact that they built these highways to one universal standard from coast to coast is admirable, mainly because I don’t see it happening today lol.

As a US History teacher who also plays this game in his free time, I really want to let you know how much I appreciate the brief history lesson you gave on the US interstate system. My students are gonna think I’m crazy when I use the first 5 minutes of this video as an introduction to a lesson one day 🤣

I-40 through New Mexico and Arizona is my favorite. Those states are absolutely beautiful to drive through. On the other hand, the worst, for me, is I-44 between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. It's almost completely straight and walled on both sides. It's so boring that they've constantly had problems with drivers falling asleep along that stretch.

That was super cool to see. Can't wait for more!

Best stretch I've been on personally is I-40 from Flagstaff to Albuquerque. Not only do you have amazing Interior West vistas but when I toured it was monsoon season so the grass was green. It also follows along Route 66, so it makes it an essential drive if you're into cross-country road tripping. Another three I'll shout out is I-5 from San Clemente to Carlsbad, I-40 from around Knoxville to Morganton, and I-80 from Auburn to Reno.

on the highway shown at 42:41 you should add a runaway truck ramp! it’s okay to have steep slopes, but them trucks need a place to go when things go wrong. (i know that trucks’ breaks don’t break in game)

Amazing! I love how much thought and backstory you put into all this, along with the realism where possible. I definitely hope you fix the exit that encroached on the river. Also I would enjoy seeing some more sloping on the highways. It seems more realistic to only meet the maximum grade requirement rather than making it smoother in places where blasting or lots of landscaping is required. I drove through PA once on the interstate and it was definitely very sloped through some of the mountains even after massive amounts of blasting into the mountainside was done.

The first episode of CWC I watched was your first Highway upgrade. This is, for some reason one of my favorite things to watch you do. It’s just fun to see you figure out the new infrastructure whilst the old is still being used. Question at around 30:00. Would the DOT make the highway that close to the lake? Wouldn’t they rather push the highway back a little and sell the waterfront property? Great episode Phil! I look forward to you fixing that one interchange

It's cool to keep seeing my hometown of Escanaba pop up on the map! I've been watching your vids for a long time after I first tried out the game, love the backstories.

At least in Illinois and Wisconsin, it seems like all the interstate improvements are removing the grass median with double face barrier in the middle. Usually when you add a lane and have limited ROW.
