It’s another milestone in a project to build what’s being called the world’s largest wildlife crossing in the Conejo Valley.
The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing spans 10 lanes of Highway 101 in the Agoura Hills area. The structure is in place, and now crews are starting to lay 6,000 cubic yards of soil on the overcrossing.
Native plants will then be planted. The idea is to make the crossing seamlessly blend in with the surrounding hills, so animals like mountain lions will feel comfortable crossing from wildlife habitats on the south to the north side of the highway.
The roughly $100 million project is expected to be completed late next year.
