  We have plenty of those here. Ecoducts they're called.

  Yea, I know about them. They're better than nothing, but they also radically change the wildlife dynamics because of the funneling aspect.

Some information on trying to establish a wildlife corridor from Yellowstone to the Yukon. There are a number of wildlife crossings that I recall up in Canada near Banff - and that shows some pictures of them. And on the "how does it change things?" > DO PREDATORS USE THESE CROSSINGS LIKE TRAPS? A common question about crossings and fencing is if predators use the corridors to more easily trap prey. The short answer is no. > Between 2012 and 2015, researchers from University of Alberta looked into this idea in a series of 17 crossings in Quebec’s Laurentides Wildlife Reserve. > After examining photos of more than 11,000 mammals using wildlife underpasses, they did not find any evidence of predators taking advantage of the crossing design to capture their dinner. > Additional evidence shows that the carnivores, including wolves, coyotes or lynx, did not follow prey into the passages, either. So it appears these crossings do not provide the easy meal they might seem to.
