The wildlife mitigation system is a major safety improvement element of the I-25 South Gap project, which spans 18 miles and connects Colorado’s two largest cities, Denver and Colorado Springs. On average, over 87,000 motorists drive this route daily. The I-25 South Gap project’s wildlife mitigation system includes four new and one refurbished wildlife underpasses, 28 miles of deer fencing and deer guards and jump-outs. Work on the underpasses is substantially complete, as is the installation of the majority of deer fencing, just in time to shepherd migrating wildlife safely under the interstate this fall.
In this episode, as this November 2021 marks the five-year anniversary since the agencies first came together to start planning for improvements along I-25 south.
