[Sim City]

>. when a bridge crosses a tunnel, it doesn't seem to

Somebody queried this, so I checked it again last night.  Here's
the result.  We assume, throughout, a bridge going over water one way
(eg N-S) and a tunnel going under the other way (eg E-W)

(a) The two do not join (obviously)

(b) if you build the bridge first, you can't bore a tunnel under it.
    The tunnel ends where it seems to meet the bridge

(c) if you build the tunnel first, you can build a bridge over it.
    The display leaves a gap in the bridge, but traffic seems to flow
    as if the gap weren't there
