Bridge for Wildlife to be Built in Ontario


A freeeway in Ontario, Canada, is about to receive a huge makeover this summer, when construction will begin on a “wildlife bridge” across the freeway.  This will allow animals to safely cross the freeway without having to worry about crossing traffic. 

This area in the past has been a problematic area, as there have been numerous collisions in which large animals, such as moose, have been hit by motorists as they attempt to cross the freeway.  This project is supposed to help reduce these collisions.  It will be inviting to the animals, because grades will be gradual, and it will be planted with natural vegetation.
