And where it is at is so high in elevation and design that nothing will use it over all.. total waste of millions if they really wanted wildlife to cross I90 they would put big culverts in like they did down by prosser.. I have seen deer and elk walking out of them so they work..or how about on I90 between eburg and vantage where thousands of elk cross back and fourth across the hwy all year long. I’ve commuted over the pass for the past 12 years. I can count on both hands how many deer and elk that have been hit between Easton and price creek. Then add another 2 years of road construction on to the project that has been going on for 10 years. :bash:

Now for the joke.
It’s going to work perfectly because they are going to put up signs for the animals and have classes showing them the dangers of Jwalking. It might not be this generation but those wolf pups will see the benefits of the crossing

Lots of bridges needing replaced(Methow de-icer damage). Lots of potholes needing filled, damaged guardrails, etc etc.
As for the wolf footage, I think a disclaimer needs to be posted as to exactly where it was filmed and proved so.

I am in construction and as silly as this seems it’s not a waste of money. Those tax dollars are putting food on tables.agreed it is putting food on tables. But it could have been placed else where. In an area with mor concentration of animals crossing the road. There still would have been jobs!
Now for the joke.

Given the progress that's been made up there over the last 100 years it seems, that may be complete by the year 2089. I'm guessing I'll be sodded under by the time that project is done.
Isn't that the truth. I used to travel over the pass often but not quite as frequent any more. I straight up can't recall the last time I drove over it prior to this project :yike:

Do I need a special tag to hunt the edge of this new project :chuckle:

Just go set your tent up there and throw a lawn chair out. It's as good as yours.

A picture of what its suppose to look like when complete. Looks like a couple deer have said enough in the pic and are ready to jump :chuckle:
Where is the scotch bloom and garbage on the side of the road? That pic must not be Washington

More are planned as new construction projects are started/planned. I believe Ryegrass will have at least one in the future
Again...... the feds granted the state the money specifically for an overpass within the construction zone. You guys sure like to complain makes me sick.

I spoke to a DOT engineer who told me that the funds for the overpass come from feds, specifically for the overpass and it is included in the funds provided for the construction project. The overpass had to be built within the zone of the existing construction project. A study was done and that was the best place available inside the zone. Animals will use it. It will benefit us all over time.

Yeah we do like to complain :chuckle: quit whining about my complaining
but in regards to your comments when the feds "grants" a state that comes from taxes, which comes from the people.
Lots of the "complaining" that many do is not approving of how their money is being spent, at least that is the way I look at it.
:twocents:

Good one. You almost had me until I realized you weren't being serious.
