A major construction milestone was reached for the #101Freeway #wildlife crossing.⁠ ⁠ Construction crews installed the first girder that will support the crossing's horizontal span across the freeway in #AgouraHills. The giant girder was lifted into place overnight on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, a greenspace bridge in Liberty Canyon. ⁠ ⁠ The crossing will provide more room to roam for mountain lions and other animals hemmed in by urban sprawl. Big cats, coyotes, deer, lizards, snakes and other creatures will have a safe route to open space in the Santa Monica Mountains and better access to food and potential mates.⁠ #nbcla #MountainLions
