Large animal crossing nearing completion over the Trans Canada Highway east of Canmore, near the village of Lac Des arcs.

This is one of a total of 44 such crossings over the Trans Canada system, and is the newest.

Since the first one was installed about 4 years ago, wildlife have taken to the bridges as a safe means of interacting with other herds and groups of animals, such as elk, grizzly and black bears.

The bridges have been hailed as a conservation success story throughout Canada and have served as a template for other countries to follow.

There is a small pullover off the westbound lanes.
