Wildlife Overpass Banff

Because of the high mortality rate of wildlife in Banff National Park, not to mention the damage to cars and trucks, on this fast highway that cuts through it, the highway has been fenced. To facilitate the movement of wild animals from one side to the other special wildlife crossings have been built. the fencing channels the wildlife up and over the highway via these special overpasses. Who says we don't care about our wild animals:-)

I love the fog in the background and the look of the curves of the bridge with the mountains behind. Nicely composed at 80k.

Lovely work hope you noticed you are driving on the wrong side of the road though.

great shot on the fly, and what a sympathetic idea to give the wildlife a safe corridor...it might be worth pulling over here to watch what passes across the busy road...V

Good to see the care and attention, and a neat looking bridge too.

Lovely shot of the overpass framed with clouds and mountains.
It probably works better than a tunnel as they would feel trapped there.
