Agoura Hills Wildlife Crossing: Final Phase Begins for World's Largest Wildlife Bridge

Wildlife Crossing Milestone

• 🚀 The final phase of the world's largest wildlife bridge, the Wallace Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, has begun in Agoura Hills.
• 💡 This project is a year away from its ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking a significant milestone in conservation efforts.

Honoring P22, the Hollywood Cat

• 🐾 The ceremony honors P22, a famous mountain lion known for crossing major freeways to reach Griffith Park.
• 💔 P22 symbolized resilience and inspired conservation, serving as a reminder of the city's wild side before his health declined.
• 🕊️ His memory fuels the determination to complete this project, which has been in development for decades.

Reconnecting Mountains and Habitat

• 🏞️ The crossing aims to reconnect the Santa Monica Mountains with the surrounding areas for all wildlife.
• 🏗️ It will span over all 10 lanes of the 101 freeway, linking the Santa Monica Mountains to the Santa Susana Mountains.
• 🏗️ The bridge is constructed with 26 million pounds of concrete, designed with a lightly colored surface to reflect light.

Creating a Safe Haven

• 🌳 A 1-acre habitat is being established on top of the bridge, featuring over a million native plants to attract wild animals.
• 🏡 This habitat will provide a safe place for wildlife to cross and call home.
• 👁️ The crossing is exclusively for wildlife but will include a public viewing platform.
• 🗓️ Completion of the wildlife crossing is expected next fall.
