The first wildlife crossing along Colorado's Interstate 70 mountain corridor opened Thursday. Located on I-70 between the Lookout Mountain and Genesee exits, the underpass has new wildlife fencing and escape ramps that span for two miles along both directions of the interstate. CDOT said the location has the highest number of wildlife-vehicle collisions on I-70 east of the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel. The underpass and fencing are expected to decrease collisions with wildlife by up to 90 percent. CPW said the new underpass will provide better movement possibilities for a variety of wildlife like elk, mule deer, black bears, coyotes, mountain lions and bobcats while improving driver safety.
