Unhindered by critics who called the $114m project ‘a bridge to nowhere’, a gigantic throughway allowing animals to cross a busy freeway is close to completion

    Yeah, but that’s just not going to work with the geography involved here, because there’s mountains to one side, and a stream to the other. The wildlife bridge is connecting two protected natural areas, which makes it perfect for wildlife, horrible for construction.

      … are we talking about the same bridge? I don’t see mountains or a stream.

        If you can’t see the mountains in the big picture at the top of that article, I can’t help you, but here’s an actual map of the area showing the stream:

          Something’s broke.

          In the picture I see mountains miles away in the distance and I definitely don’t see a steam, you’re talking like the mountains and stream are right next to the bridge. At most there’s a hill next to the highway, and then on the other side looks like another road. No stream.

            Maybe you can get the California Wildlife Crossing Database map to load, which shows the topography, although you have to zoom in to see the stream. https://arcg.is/1n001K3
