"LA's 101 Freeway to Close for Wildlife Crossing Construction"
The construction of a large wildlife crossing over the Los Angeles County’s 101 Freeway, aimed at providing safe passage for wildlife, especially mountain lions, will lead to weeks of overnight closures on weekdays starting Monday. The crossing, spanning 10 lanes of highway, is part of an effort to address the impact of major highways as barriers to wildlife movement and gene pools. The project, set for completion in 2025, is named the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing and is expected to serve as a global model for urban wildlife conservation. The crossing will provide crucial habitat access for various wildlife, including mountain lions, addressing genetic diversity issues and allowing for the movement of animals across the area.
