Description
This Animals' Bridge is on Confederated Salish and Kootenai land (reservation, if you must), in western Montana. The sign is in English and Salish (native language). This bridge is one of many throughout the world, the first built in France in the 1950s. This bridge has kept many serious car/animal accidents from occurring, and the research cameras installed have shown moose, deer, bear, raccoons, and more using the safe passage. A 2010 news article http://bit.ly/baObvR gives more insight into the bridge's positive impact on the environment and safety.
One-time rights purchased by ORION Magazine for use in their November/December 2014 issue. It's the headline picture for the article "Right of Way."
