I used 2" thick Styrofoam cut and glued with PL adhesive on edge. Two sheets side by side create a 4" wide sub roadbed. Used a 10" table saw w/ fine tooth blade. I have a jig to rip at an angle. Easy. Fast. Calculated the grade and set the jig at a fraction of an inch to two feet. For building the arch overpass used an idea from this Forum. Poplar, 1/4" x 5" stock, will span without deformation more than 10 ". The 1/4" thnikness is helpful in terms of reducing the total elevation & grade.
