North America’s Largest Wildlife Overpass Is Working: Animal Collisions on I-25 Down 91%
North America's largest wildlife overpass, built to help protect animals in Colorado, has seen a significant drop in car-animal collisions after its opening. The structure, which spans Interstate 25 near Larkspur, is helping to reduce the number of accidents involving bears, elk, and moose. Data collected over the past 10 months shows a notable decrease in wildlife vehicle crashes.
Why it's good news: It indicates that this innovative solution is effectively reducing the risk of animal-related car accidents.
