Dedicated Animals Only Bridge

This is a bridge crossing the highway in Banff, Alberta in Canada. Apparently, the Trans-Canada highway was built across the natural crossing of these Elks and a lot of animals and drivers got killed when these animals were crossing the highway during their migration.

A bridge was built for the animals to cross so they and the drivers don't get hurt. It took some years, but the Elks have now learned to cross the bridge instead of the highway.

According to Snopes, it's not really a bridge dedicated for animals but a bridge for Canadian Pacific Railway.

Interesting just the same.
