The bridge - only in Canada?

Thanks to Agent 46 for sending this picture from beautiful Alberta. This is the actual turn-off from Banff to Highway #1 to Calgary. Great picture isn't it?

They had to build a separate crossing for the animals, especially the elk, to replace an old natural crossing where there were entirely too many collisions. Of course, being westerners, the thought of having their pickups and SUVs damaged may have been as motivating as preservation of the wildlife, but the result is good all the same.

It didn't take the animals long to learn that this was their very own bridge! And you thought animals are dumb! Really....?
