that would be pretty useful for crossing railway main lines. But since ships are not so commonly used, I'm not sure it's necessary.

Its good for oil and passengers. if u use patch that makes ships larger then ships r even more useful

This is the thing which make the World to stall, all is useful, if not for you, maybe for me or for somebody else
I don't play enough with ships because they are too expensive for simple tasks, but there's nothing better than ships to get the oil from an oil rig or carry passengers to the shore beyond the lake

Water bridges (aka "aqueducts") would be a nice new feature, tough going up and down, even with locks, is quite unrealistic (also true with canals). As of now, it's already possible to emulate aqueducts crossing railways or roads by raising a strip of land and building canals over tunnels. But real aqueducts, as proposed, would also allow to carry canals over rivers and valleys...

Its a beautiful idea.

I dont see why it hasnt been worked on more.

I guess we need more ships first, but thats a code problem i think, but i think they're working on it. 8)

thats a really good idea the bit of the bridge that goes up if it does can be designed like a lock and the main bit can be like it is in the pictureor a different design they could even have speed limits :D :D 8) :) but also seeing as you have designed one possibly you could do some coding on it then open it to public as a canal bridge you could even have different types
