Dialog engineers Alberta’s first wildlife overpass outside Banff
AI Article Summary

The consulting engineering firm Dialog has inaugurated Alberta's first wildlife overpass outside Banff National Park, located between Lac des Arcs and Highway 1X in Bow Valley. The overpass aims to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions on a busy stretch of highway, improving animal safety and migration routes. The design features soil and vegetation to integrate with the natural landscape and includes 12 km of exclusion fencing. Dialog plans to build three more crossings in partnership with Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors.
