Costing ~3 hours of the Iran War, So Cal's Wildlife Crossings Reconnect a Natural World Divided by Highways Spurred by the high-profile deaths of the region’s beloved mountain lions, the vegetated freeway overpass will provide safe passage not only for cougars but deer, bobcats and other wildlife that call the Santa Monica mountains home. “Unlike the engineered bridges that are so familiar to people living in urban cities all over the world, the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing will not only have a technically designed surface that is supported by science — but also a surface that is very much alive and that will support future plant communities in the Santa Monica mountains and the wildlife that need and depend on a reconnected ecosystem.” "This crossing will re-connect an entire ecosystem that has long been fragmented by this almost impenetrable obstacle for wildlife. “By building a wildlife crossing over the 10 lanes of freeway and an access road — in the last 1,600 feet in the area that possesses protected land north and south of the 101. "This project will re-establish ecological connectivity for a multitude of native plant and animal species in the Santa Monica Mountains ecosystem.” yet, scumbags such as Hannity/Rufo/Trump 2.0's Sec of Transportation, Duffy, would lie that this is the bridge to nowhere ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ¯_(ツ)_/¯
these recent reckless spending by Trump 2.0, , have prompted MAGATs to flash this shiny object, another convenient lie against the dotard's strident critics, to divert attention away $114 M is equivalent to 3 hours worth of the Iran War it is the anti-thesis of the "bridge to nowhere" the freeway overpass crosses a 10-lane freeway on average, more than 300,000 vehicles travel that stretch of freeway daily, according to the California Department of Transportation. altho Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is nearly finished, with an expected completion date in the fall of 2026, small creatures are already making it their home
more intellectual dishonesty from the MAGAverse. Colorado doesn't have 10-lane freeways freeways on whom more than 300,000 vehicles travel on a daily basis Calif's Ventura Freeway is a 10-lane one, whose avg daily vehicle volume > 300 K
this is the NYPost's version invalid comparision, apart from being built in the last century, 2 global trade wars ago, the Canadian crossings were built on much smaller freeways smaller than 10-lanes average daily vehicle volume of < 3K, as compared to > 300K for Calif's Ventura Freeway

Tinfoil's most recent side-stepping, in a roundabout way, amounts to an admission that he was wrong when he parroted this false narrative about the biggest freeway overpass in the world over the 10-lane Ventura Freeway, the 2nd busiest freeway in LA, w an average dailing volume of > 350,000 vehicles
Don't worry about it, Mexico will pay for it, just like they did for our multi-billion dollar border wall.
