Unhindered by critics who called the $114m project ‘a bridge to nowhere’, a gigantic throughway allowing animals to cross a busy freeway is close to completion

We conclude that wide overpasses (~50 m) continue to present important, cost-effective solutions in decreasing the barrier effective of the road (especially when targeting width sensitive species and large assemblages of mammals) but encourage future studies to further explore the specific instances when multiple underpasses and narrower overpasses present more cost-effective solutions.
