Photos of the Day: Driving Past the Largest Wildlife Crossing in the World (Once Completed)...

Yesterday, I drove past the future Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing on my way to work at Thousand Oaks in California!

I used the northbound side of Highway 101 as I commuted to my job in Ventura County; employing my Google Pixel 4A smartphone to take pics of the soon-to-be-vegetated bridge as I drove underneath it. And obviously (and carefully), I did the same thing when I went home via the southbound side of Highway 101...passing the wildlife crossing as Caltrans was about to close the northbound side of the freeway to begin the installation of additional concrete girders to the bridge that night.

Don't be surprised if I keep taking photos of the wildlife crossing and sharing them online whenever I work in Ventura County! I look forward to the day where mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, deer and fence lizards can roam freely and safely from one side of the 101 freeway to the other when the overpass opens in Agoura Hills by early 2026.

Happy Friday!
