A Special Crossing Over Route 6: A Bridge for Wildlife
Published
The National Council for Planning and Building has approved advancing a special structure over one of Israel's busiest roads. The structure will be about 80 meters long, and people will not be permitted to pass through it. It is being built for wild animals.
The road in question is Route 6, which carries a large number of cars every day. In recent years, many animals have been injured in accidents on roads like this one when they try to cross from one side to the other. For this reason, crossings are being planned that will allow animals to cross the road safely, without entering traffic.
The new structure is part of an effort to protect nature in Israel. It connects open areas on both sides of the road, so that animals can move between the areas where they live and find food and places of shelter. Many experts see solutions like this as an important way to protect animals and the natural environment.
The council's approval is the first stage in the process. Detailed plans still need to be prepared and the work carried out before the crossing can open. If the project succeeds, similar structures may also be built on other roads in the country.
