'''Dead Ahead''' is a short [[Maps|map]] that takes place on a road bridge. It has been remade twice since its addition to the game.

|The current version of '''Dead Ahead''' takes place at night on a road bridge which leads to a tunnel that goes into a mountain. The bridge appears to go over a river of sorts. The bridge is split in two by a black and purple portal, which is placed on black terrain. The bigger part of the bridge is the one on which we can place our towers. This part of the bridge is partially destroyed and appears to be currently being repaired, based on multiple shelves which contain crates and metal pipes on them. There are also a few concrete bricks and rusty containers with rubble in them. Lamps can also be found in the middle of the bridge and the sides of it. The left and right sides of the bridge are blocked by black and yellow walls.
