Description
While building the toll road, I realized that getting it up and over the top of the mountains here would be a bit unfeasible. As a result, I decided to dig a tunnel just under the peak, since a cut seemed like it would be too deep to realistically work - I could just envision a deep cut filling in with an immovable pile of snow, kind of like it did in the old film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (does anyone even remember that film?). So, I chose to reason that the road builders brought the road up as high as possible, and then dug a tunnel at the narrowest point so as to create the least amount of heavy work.

I'm actually quite proud of this tunnel, because it took some work to make it. There wasn't any readily-available tunnel asset that wuld fit what I needed, so I had to improvise. I used a tunnel asset by, IIRC, Pencil42, and then added a dighole on either side. To cover the dighole, I added a tunnel face asset, and a wooden tunnel portal. However, the tunnel itself was a railroad tunnel, so I had to add a dirt road spline inside the tunnel, raised just enough to cover the rails from sight, in order to complete the job. I haven't actually tested it to see if a stagecoach will fit through it, but smaller freight agons should have little issue.
