Highway 25
Highway 25 is a multimodal, limited access highway connecting Brynhild and Arioyund, and the only major roadway between the regions. It largely consists of bridges and tunnels, with very little of it at grade. Up to -10'000 Z (North), it is maintained by the Arioyund Department of Transportation, and beyond that by the Brynhild Department of Transportation. It has a single lane protected Ice Express, and a two-block portion shared by a rail line and pedestrian traffic. Its single-elevation design allows all users to enjoy the beautiful views presented from its elevated segments, and makes boat travel simple.
