Arizona Wildlife Crossing To Make Travel Safer On Grand Canyon Route

Arizona is investing $15.8 million on an Interstate 17 wildlife crossing near Flagstaff to make travel safer where vehicles often collide into animals crossing the road.
The article from Forbes, published on April 21, 2025, discusses the construction of a new wildlife crossing in Arizona aimed at enhancing safety for both animals and motorists along the Grand Canyon route. The crossing, located near the town of Tusayan, is designed to reduce the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions, which have been a significant issue in the area. Funded by a combination of federal grants and private donations, the project includes an overpass and underpass system that will allow species such as elk, deer, and mountain lions to safely traverse the busy highway. The initiative is part of a broader effort to protect wildlife corridors and promote ecological connectivity in the region, with local officials and conservationists praising the project as a vital step towards safer and more sustainable travel.
