Save the critters! Animals to get their own overpass over busy SoCal freeway. The 'wildlife crossing' breaks ground - now on ABC7
The roughly $85 million Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is envisioned as the largest crossing of its kind in the world, spanning 210 feet over 10 lanes of highway and pavement. It is also the first to be significantly funded through private donations along with public support.
A groundbreaking ceremony will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the site, about a 10-minute walk from the Liberty Canyon Trailhead. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is expected to be the largest of its kind in the world. It is being developed following 20 years of studies from the National Park Service that found roads and urban development are deadly for animals trying to navigate the Los Angeles area. Urban development has also created islands of habitats that can genetically isolate the region's animals.
