Wildlife overcrossing on U.S. 97 completed in Oregon

Original: U.S. 97's wildlife overcrossing has been completed

Crews have finished building a wildlife overcrossing along U.S. Highway 97, a vegetated bridge designed to let animals cross the roadway safely. The crossing aims to reduce vehicle-wildlife collisions and reconnect habitats split by the highway. The completion marks the end of construction on the project, though details on opening and costs have not been reported.

Why now: The project's completion marks a milestone in efforts to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions on a busy highway.
