California groundbreaking set for largest wildlife crossing:
LOS ANGELES — — a bridge over a major Southern California highway that will provide more room to roam for mountain lions and other animals hemmed in by urban sprawl.
“Crossings like this are nothing new," Pratt said, noting there is one outside Yosemite for toads."This one's historic because we're putting it over one of the busiest freeways in the world.” Construction will take place mostly at night and won’t require any lengthy shutdowns of the 101 freeway, officials have said. It's slated to be completed by early 2025.
Scientists tracking cougars fitted with GPS collars found over decades that roadways are largely confining animals in mountains that run along the Malibu coast and across the middle of LA to Griffith Park, where P-22 settled. Drivers in the Liberty Canyon area will speed under the bridge 165 feet wide with brush and trees growing on top, seamlessly joining hillsides on both sides of the lanes.
