Wildlife crossing is the umbrella term encompassing underpasses, overpasses, ecoducts, green bridges, amphibian/small mammal tunnels, and wildlife viaducts (Bank et al. 2002). All of these structures are designed to provide semi-natural corridors above and below roads so that animals can safely cross without endangering themselves and motorists ...
The bridge is meant to allow animals to circulate through and thrive in habitats that are fragmented by human development. [1] The crossing is particularly critical for the mountain lions of the Santa Monica Mountains, which have declined and become genetically isolated [2] because the Ventura Freeway prevents them from moving between the mountains and the Simi Hills to the north.
In Europe, these tunnels are sometimes referred to as "herp tunnels" the name for the study of amphibians and reptiles: herpetology. The European herp tunnels followed the same design as the Henry Street tunnels: fences and tunnels beneath roads. [12] In Canada the city of Guelph, Ontario, has built tunnels to help reptiles cross roads.

The bridge spans 140 metres (460 ft) over Mandai Lake Road. [4] The bridge was completed on 6 December 2019 after 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 years of construction. [4] Trees have been planted on the bridge to replicate a forest environment for animals to use as a crossing although it will take 5 to 10 years for the canopy to mature. [4]
