I found such a photo on the Internet and became interested in what function such a structure could perform.
My guess is that it will be a “nature highway” so migratory species can cross over the road
These are great for wildlife as they provide a safe crossing over high-speed highways. They are usually design to be in already existing migration paths where moving a proposed highway may not work and not disrupting migration paths is of importance.
So they’re literally building the mountain next year. Neat.
Sure looks like an animal crossing.
Why do they put deer crossing signs on the highway? Why can’t they put them on smaller roads instead‽
Also, deer can’t read street signs, so they don’t know where to cross.
Coquihalla highway has something like this to keep avalanches and rocks off the road.
It’s the only tunnel I’ve driven that has windows.

Italy and austria have a lor of those because of the mountains.
It’s not finished. It will look like this when they complete it. It’s a nature bridge.
If a duct that transfers water is an Aquaduct, then a duct that transfers nature is an Ecoduct
The caption is a joke, but it’s basically correct.
