A long awaited fix for a deadly problem.
After decades of rising wildlife deaths on busy highways, the United States has opened its largest wildlife overpass, a structure built specifically to reconnect habitats cut apart by roads. The massive crossing gives animals a safe path over traffic instead of through it. Conservationists say the overpass could prevent thousands of collisions each year, protecting drivers and wildlife alike. More importantly, it signals a shift in how infrastructure is designed, acknowledging that animals still move, migrate, and survive across landscapes humans have divided.
