Wildlife Bridges

The world’s largest wildlife overpass is being built over a section of I-25 between Denver and Colorado Springs, just north of Monument. It’s a stretch of highway that averages one vehicle crash involving wildlife every day.

Researchers have new evidence that enhancing wildlife connectivity between national parks in the West would help animals live hundreds of generations longer.

The $350 million investment would reduce the number of expensive and deadly wildlife-vehicle collisions — an issue that's especially acute in more rural Western states.
