These are great for wildlife as they provide a safe crossing over high-speed highways. They are usually design to be in already existing migration paths where moving a proposed highway may not work and not disrupting migration paths is of importance.
They are called ‘faunaducts’.
Haven’t heard that term, it’s usually called “ecoduct” over here.
They’d use it a lot more of it was covered in trees. If you want animals to avoid something, make it easy for them to be seen.
Sorry if dumb but, why dont predators just camp the choke points?
It’s a wildlife corador, but it should be more seamless on the topside with the environment
It eventually will
This meme is so old that I guess it’s probably already covered.
These poor old sods just don’t get it
It dates back to 2021 but I wrote that comment before I knew that.
I’ll be honest with you chaotic neutral Czech, I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about, I was just trying to get a pun thread started. I’ll shut up now before this reply turns into a whole passage
My bad, I hadn’t known the other meaning of the word “sod”
Need one of those geoguesser guys to figure out where this is
Wildlife corridors are good and important
This could be an overpass, and animal migration overpass or somewhere where rock, earth or snow slides happen.
Sorry, mountain factory is backordered 10-15 million years. We’ll get to you when we get to you.
Using dirt and sand instead of loads of expensive concrete for a viaduct or faunaduct. There’s only logic with this design. More green, less concrete, cheaper, long lasting yet easily changed (like widened or moved) or removed if needed in 20, 40 or a 100 years. Concrete can crack. Plant trees on this and the roots will only make it stronger and longer lasting. The American way of using concrete everywhere really is the worst thing you can do. Look at the Netherlands, the best infrastructure in the world with the least amount of concrete. Build smarter, not bigger.
Uh… fingers are not a good type of infrastructure.
But my free dumb. ….
