The Arizona Dept. of Transportation (ADOT) is partnering with other state and federal agencies to help minimize negative effects of highways as well as enhance connectivity through transportation corridors. Temporary and permanent fencing is used to divert wildlife away from construction areas and from the roadway itself to safer areas. Wildlife crossings are also designed into highway structures to provide alternatives for crossing the roadway. ADOT is using a comprehensive package of measures, including wildlife underpasses, wildlife-proof fencing, escape ramps and one-way gates.
