Idaho's 56-Year-Old Unused Bridge Repurposed as Wildlife Crossing on I-90
An abandoned bridge over Interstate 90 in Osburn, Idaho, has been converted into a wildlife crossing after sitting unused for 56 years. The effort was driven by a local truck driver who had repeatedly witnessed animals being struck on the highway. Conservation organizations and state officials joined forces to transform the neglected structure into a safe passage for wildlife. Trail cameras have since captured deer regularly using the bridge to cross the busy interstate safely. Although the crossing is considered temporary, it has already proven effective in reducing animal-vehicle collisions in the area.
