In the U. S. state of Washington, a road called Interstate(州际公路;州际的)90 cuts through a wild mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the area's many kinds of animals, busy high- way greatly limits their movements. Animals need to move to find food,to find mates.to find new places to live as their populations expand or just when conditions change,like a fire breaks out. Crossing I as the road is called - is a risky but sometimes necessary act.But soon, animals will have a safer

choice. They will be able to go above it.

It forms two arches above the highway,one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing anti plants to help guide the animals across the bridge,Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below. Scientists chose the area because it is within a natural migration(迁徙)path for some animals.

Such costs come from car repaid,emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people.But they are often deadly to wildlife. The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. are affected by vehicle hits. Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce I he area's animal - driver collisions by 80 percent.
