As a commercial truck driver I drive the snoqualmie pass everyday and watched the overpass being built over several years. I always though what a waste of taxpayer money to build this giant overpass but now that I’ve watched this presentation and see the animals actually using this overpass and being kept safe, I’m proud of Washington State for these efforts to protect wildlife. I HATE Roadkill and it sickens me to see dead innocent animals on the side of the road; I applaud these efforts to protect them!

I travel this road all the time. It is so nice to see the extreme decline in roadkill. It is really great to see that Elk herds are starting to use the crossing.

Just a jewel! What a huge project and what an amazing outcome. So emotional and uplifting to see the animals use the over and underpasses and how well though out the overpasses were. You wouldn't know there was a highway right there or concrete underneath the soil. Kudoes to all the planners and workers who made this all possible. Washington, you did a fantastic job, and I hope you talk to other states.

I really miss Washington state the people there treated me good. A great place to live with the rain also. The rain grew on me. I hope to move back one day. Dreaming Washington.

I lived in Arizona my entire life and moved to WA in my early 20s. I got lost in on the way to my home in Bellevue stopped on I-90 in Snoqualmie. The beauty left me speechless, and I spent hours on the side of the road eating blackberries and taking it all in. I moved back to Arizona after five years but really enjoyed the entire state with the endless opportunities and wealth it granted me. What a great state! I'm happy to learn that WSDOT is managing the transporation system with such care.

This must have cost millions to accomplish, but millions that were put to such good use. My heart is full that all these departments of people came together to get all the species of correct plants replanted. To think of all the different creatures that need to get from one side to the other and create their habitat. To even make the roadways where avalanches are prevalent lifted so that they went below rather than onto the roads, just brilliant. You are all truly amazing and what the world needs.🐝

This yet another reason that I am glad our family moved to Washington State 20 years ago. It makes me so proud to be part of a “village” that cares about nature and all it’s denizens.

Many thanks to all the departments and teams and individuals who are working to protect our creatures who have suffered from the roadways criss-crossing their habitats. Love it, love it, love it.

This brings tears to my eyes how you can save all those critters and build habitats. I have a grandson who would love to do this.

I called him Dr. Doolittle because of his love for creatures of every kind. Good work DOT!

The collaboration on this entire project is stunning. Over 50 government and collage departments and others got together and layed out this intricate plan and are driving it to fruition.

And the world

So awesome to see our species do something for other species! Saving animal lives, saving people's lives. It shines some light in our dark days. Thanks for sharing 😊

Agree. Lets ask our congresspeople. Also try tapping your car horn when any animal crosses in front of your car. This includes squirrels

This is SO WONDERFUL to see! I hope it will be adopted everywhere!

You folks are incredible, thank you!

Great to see all these partners work together! Enjoyed learning all about this project, especially the underpasses (and that another overpass is in the works for more animals!)

IKR That’s what shocked/impressed me the most is how that department head from DOT and all the biologist and everyone involved came together for one good. So impressive. Will never see this in the state of Florida right here around Orlando. Smdh GREAT JOB to all yall

People are finally doing right by the land and this saves lives of people from accidents and many animals. We have to make this national requirement for all roads. Animals need to travel and so do we, so this way is the only way that makes sense. Great job, beautiful work, and thanks.

A BIG Thank You to all involved with this project! I wish every US state would follow in your footsteps and create these safe havens and crossings for our precious wildlife. Thank You!!

If there is no "Animaltarian" award .... WSDOT should get a Humanitarian Award for caring for the planet. Absolutely brilliant plan and execution. Every state and country needs to steal this idea and implement it. 👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆❤❤❤

Job well done by all those involved!

This is a wonderful video! Thank you so much1

This is wonderful. I saw this in a random u-tube and was excited about the work being done. I was born and raised in Central Vermont and I can appreciate the need for these measures.

The Dutch have been doing this for decades now and it really works, animals find their way very fast 😁 great work

Yes, along the east side of the Canadian Rockies as well. More moose, grizzly, occasional big horn than the I-90 Prince Creek animal crossing.
