An elevated road is built of a series of bridges that pass some 30 feet or more over the surrounding landscape. Access is possible only at certain waypoints, that are generally patroled and fortified.

This denies access to the roads in the province to brigands, foreign armies and other undesireables. In effect, only firendly forces can use the road, and they can use it even if the province is occupied by enemies or in rebellion.

The main military use of the elevated road is to prevent surprise attacks, it is not a proper fortress. After the province has been occupied for a month, the elevated road is assumed to fall into enemy hands.

An elevated road always has a road rating of 10. The regular roads in the province are generally destroyed to make way for an elevated road.
