This just adds some basic archways and doors to Windhelm bridge. You generally won't even notice a change, it's like they've always been there. It's the way Windhelm bridge was always meant to be.

Swapped out the texture on the bars to a different vanilla texture.

WINDHELM BRIDGE ARCHWAYS AND DOORS
This mod brings something to Windhelm bridge you never even realised you needed and is designed to make you wonder if it wasn't already there in the first place.
This is no overhaul or massive change, it's just a flourish, which it always should have had.
In testing I have had no framerate drop or any other ill side effects. Please let me know if you find anything amiss or have any mods which may conflict. I'm always happy to update, patch and bug fix, give me time though as I have little free.
All block assets have now been swapped out for new custom assets which will still should work with just about any other mods that don't modify or replace the bridge model or adjust any of the content beyond any of the outward facing doorways.
This has been tested with Vanilla and my own mix of other peoples textures, model replacements and other mods, but by no means has this testing has been extensive or covering a great many of the mods that exist on the Nexus, so please let me know when something seems to be causing issues with it.

Huge thanks go to AndrealphusVIII for all his help and encouragement, this mod is as much his as it is mine. This mod was actually started when he and I were talking about the Windhelm bridge and I stated "why are these doorways so terrible?" and we spit balled ideas on what could be used. The only thing we could come up with was building them ourselves from small blocks and I was like "it's gonna be too hard and take too long to line them all up!" AndrealphusVIII was like "no it's not" and an hour later be came back with the start of the archways. From there I completely reworked them, lined them up, added the doors, windows and extra bits and pieces.
