Supporters of the The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing celebrated the progress of the project on Earth Day.
"We would not have mountain lions here. We probably wouldn't have a lot of wildlife here in the future if we don't do this, so for me it became a moral imperative," said Beth Pratt, Executive Director of the National Wildlife Federation. "Knowing that we actually did save this population, that feels pretty good."
The closures are necessary for crews to lift and install large concrete beams, or girders, over the freeway. Each of the girders weighs between 126 and 140 tons. For almost 20 years, researchers have been looking into the crossing, which has been one of the biggest threats in the area according to Sikich.
