Bridges and Tunnels in Colorado Are Helping Animals Commute
Briefly

The construction of a wildlife overpass along Route 160 aims to mitigate accidents involving wildlife and motorists in a hazardous area. Aran Johnson, a wildlife biologist with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, has invested 15 years into this initiative and hopes it proves successful. As he prepares trail cameras to monitor wildlife activity, he remains hopeful about the overpass's effectiveness for deer and elk during their migration to wintering grounds. This project symbolizes ongoing efforts to address environmental challenges through innovative local solutions.
After 15 years of effort, Aran Johnson is anxious to see if the new wildlife overpass along Route 160 will effectively protect both motorists and wildlife.
Equipped with trail cameras, Johnson is preparing for evidence of deer and elk using the overpass, highlighting the project's potential impact on wildlife migration.
