   Some aspects of this remind me of   
      
   - Robert Wilfred Franson, The Shadow of the Ship   
      
    (2-D surface of which narrow roads are somewhat dependable to take   
     high load, in someplaces descending into the graviational well of   
     planets deep enough to reach their surfaces).
