The 10-lane highway overpass in Los Angeles designed to allow mountain lions and other animals to more freely roam, find mates
A 200-foot-long wildlife overpass under construction in Los Angeles aims to help mountain lions and other animals roam safely across the concrete jungle of Highway 101, raising their chances of long-term survival.
Preservationists had raised concerns that the city’s winding freeway system forced area mountain lions to breed with nearby relatives, which could lead to lower survival rates. The new overpass, which will connect the Santa Monica Mountains to the Simi Hills over 10 lanes of highway in Agoura Hills, will allow the animals to mix with other, unrelated mountain lions.
