Roadkill is an $8 billion problem in the United States, and Balmori Associates want to reduce it with their Wildlife Bridge. The Wildlife Bridge is designed to provide a safe crossing for wildlife across dangerous highways.
The Wildlife Bridge is designed to look as natural as possible, with trees and grass all around. The Wildlife Bridge is Balmori Associates' entry into the ARC International Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Competition, a competition designed to make human and animal travel safer. I'm all for anything that keeps Bambis from becoming roadkill.
