i expected a deer or two maybe a moose
or two
it's working that's the bottom line
we have moose using it the animal that
uses it the most has been deer
so far we have mule deer here in utah
several bears mountain lions
bobcats coyotes raccoons
porcupines i mean the lift is long
[Applause]
in this situation we've got kind of
mountains on both
sides and then the highway is kind of
down below
there's three miles of fencing on both
sides of this very busy interstate that
funnels the wildlife to this overpass
i think our biologists and those
involved with the project
knew it would work to some extent we
just did not know
how wonderfully and how effective this
would turn out to be
[Music]
i'm really excited to see the future of
wildlife overpasses
but they're not a dime a dozen i'm sure
there's always people that aren't happy
with you know the way
money is used by government but for the
most part everybody feels like it's a
good investment it's going to help
insurance companies it's going to help
people that
have insurance it's going to help the
wildlife it's a win-win-win this
is what it is
