AGOURA HILLS, Calif. () — California is providing the final $18 million to complete the world’s largest wildlife crossing in Agoura Hills.
Gov. Gavin Newsom this week announced the funding for the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, which aims to provide safe passage for wildlife across the 101 Freeway.
“The Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is an ambitious project, one that bridges the gap between conservation and urban development. The crossing will make life safer for both Los Angeles wildlife and drivers frequenting US 101 – and will ensure people and animals can thrive together for generations to come,” he said in a statement.
The California Transportation Commission allocated the funds for the crossing from the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program, which was established in 1989 to support projects that mitigate environmental impacts associated with modifying new or existing transportation facilities, according to the governor’s office.
Once finished, the overall crossing will be the largest bridge of its kind in the world, and a global model for urban wildlife conservation.

Last year, the project achieved a big milestone with the completion of the structure over the freeway — the result of more than 26 million pounds of concrete poured, the completion of vegetated sound walls, the placement of planting soils, the installation of natural stone habitat elements, and the unveiling of the crossing’s name, now visible daily to more than 300,000 drivers who use the freeway.
The crossing is expected to be completed in the fall of 2026.
