Southern California officials have announced plans for a highway overpass for wildlife, saying that they aim to break ground in 2021. ABC7 has obtained some preview footage of what it might look like from Utah's equivalent "Critter Bridge."
"The City of Emeryville achieved a significant milestone in the early hours of Sunday morning," Bauters said. "Long bisected by both the Union Pacific Railroad and the I-80/580 Freeway, east to west connectivity and access between residential neighborhoods, local shops, and the Bay Trail for bicycles and pedestrians has been limited to a couple routes dominated by cars."
He said the cost of the bridge project is about $22 million, with additional costs still to come for connecting paths and the creation of Horton Landing Park on the east side of the train tracks.
