How to get rid of this water?

[thany]

I want to make a ship line into an efficient train line, but my water already has a lot of bridges over it. Is there a way to remove the water under a bridge? I can destroy 3 or 4 of them, but I can never destroy all 7 bridges...

[Conditional Zenith]

To remove water, you must raise the land above sea level, which then leaves the bridges at ground level.

You have to destroy the bridges, then raise the land. You can leave a dike to stop flooding and then lower the land and rebuild the bridges. There is no other way to do it (except possibly hacking the savegame).

If you turn the build-while-paused "cheat" on, you can just clear all the water tiles without raising them, but you still have to build a dike.

I think it would be nice if someone makes patch... maybye Ctrl+Demolish would bulldoze stuff from under the bridge?


Uh, maybye I'd try
