GREENLAND, Colo. (KOAA) — Construction of an I-25 wildlife overpass over Greenland, just south of Larkspur, is now complete, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
The $15 million bridge spans across six lanes of I-25. The 200-foot wide structure is designed for elk, deer and pronghorn to safely cross the interstate.
The overpass connects 39,000 acres of habitat and is expected to reduce wildlife-vehicles crashes by 90%.
CDOT says more details about the overpass will be available within the next few days.
