Can I setup an Armored Cupola on an elevated road?

I think the rules allow it, if the elevated road can be considered a open ground. Pillboxes can be in an elevated road even if paved if that matters.

9.52 PLACEMENT: An Armored Cupola can be placed only in brush, grain, woods, orchard, Shellhole, debris (O1), or Open Ground hexes as if it were a pillbox (B30.1). Although it cannot leave or be pushed out of its hex, it is free to change its TCA 360 degrees. An Armored Cupola is never eligible for concealment and leaves no wreck. An Armored Cupola set up directly behind a wall/hedge is always assumed to have Wall Advantage over those hexsides unless it is Abandoned/in-Melee or its inherent crew is stunned/shocked.

Thanks,
Rich

An Elevated Road (B5) is a terrain in itself and is not identified as Open Ground, excepted B5.3 : "An Elevated Road is considered Open Ground for TEM and Interdiction purposes, provided the Height Advantage TEM does not apply."
So I don't think that an Armoured Cupola may set up on it.
