Frequently Asked Questions

A wildlife crossing is an engineered structure that allows safe and sustainable movement of wildlife across roads, highways, rivers and other barriers. They are designed to reduce interactions between wildlife and humans, roadkill, vehicle damage, and human injury, and enable safe passage for animals to access food, breeding grounds and other resources. This "wildlife bridge" will be a fully-vegetated, 150-foot wide overpass, similar to the successful ones built by Conservation Northwest on I-90.

Wildlife are on the move here, between the Klamath-Siskiyou mountains, the Cascades, the Eddies, and the Trinities. They make daily movements to find food and mates, seasonal migrations as conditions change, and generational shifts claiming new territory to call home. We can't stop them from crossing the roadway, so instead we can give them dedicated, traffic-free crossing points. This will keep wildlife off the freeway, thus preventing animal/vehicle collisions.
