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’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.
Probably difficult to grow trees on there, since their roots can’t go very deep, but yeah, could have a lot more bushes.
Seem to be planted and growing on the sides. Not sure why they wouldn’t plant the whole thing, especially with forests on both sides. This kind of defeats the purpose of the overpass.
