The new wildlife overpass on I-80, just west of Parleys Summit, is now complete! In coordination with UDWR this overpass, the first in the state designed and built solely for wildlife, will help improve safety by cutting down on the high number of wildlife-related collisions in the area. In order to make the crossing as successful as possible, it’s important that the overpass is used by wildlife only. Check out this video and help us spread the word to #KeepItWild!
