World's Largest Wildlife Bridge Comes To A Southern California Freeway

 


I copied this picture of what is to become the world's largest wildlife bridge last spring, but never posted the story. 

The bridge crosses the 101 freeway, a 10 lane highway in Southern California, including the Los Angeles suburbs. When it's completed in 2026, at a cost of $92 million, it will provide a safe crossing for the variety of animals that call this area home, including mountain lions, bobcats, mule deer and coyotes to mention the larger species. Of course, there are many small critters that will also benefit from this safe crossing.

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, will be the largest such crossing in the world and it will be filled with plants and trees to make the animals feel they are in their natural environment.

More about this and much, much better pictures here:

    What an interesting effort... I wonder at the chances of it being entirely successful... but to be commended nonetheless. YAM xx
