Needed Tools:

MoveVerts:similar with conform Compound object,but easy and more free.

SmoothRoad(blur),SmoothRoad(linear):Make road have a smooth transition between different elevation,meanwhile keep cross-section level.

ConformToRoad:make terrain conform to Road.

StitchVerts:Simple and powerful tool to connect Terrain and road.if Lite version ,can use AdvConnectVert replace it.

Slice:Grid polygon as Terrain.

The third vedio show how to use Lite version to smoothRoad and connect vertices

 

Note That:

1.Prepair road object,which must be editable poly object without any modifier ,and must be SINGLE-SIDE object.

2.This tools are included in TerrainAxe,you need to install TerrainAxe.

3.TerrainAxe is a commercial set of script tools ,if you use  Lite version ,you can  replace SmoothRoad(blur) SmoothRoad(linear) use SmoothRoad, replace StitchVerts with AdvConnectVerts. But this need longer time to complete your  work.

I have attached a max file for exercise
