Tardigrade Link ParentI can second the wurrkos recommendation.

I've had a couple of ideas but I think it will involve a mix of a tunnels and viaducts but I don't want to impinge on anyone's space so open to route suggestions. My current plan is to build a viaduct in parallel with the spawned in bridge to take it from the small stream to the then go under the road until I pop out on the other side of town.
