The HWU-linked May 2025 highway map records this route as 7 blocks wide and 4 blocks high. These are the map's dated construction dimensions. HWU later reported 9-block-wide paving from spawn to the Overworld border (3.75M Nether coordinates) in October 2025; that partial-route widening is not applied to the full 30M route.
Clearance: 4 blocks
