Secret tunnels in Maine help wildlife cross the road safely. Now, they're expanding for bears and moose to fit, too

In Maine, over 500 moose and 3,000 deer meet unfortunate fates on the roads each year, which is why wildlife tunnels are getting a much-needed upgrade. The state is expanding existing culverts to accommodate larger animals like moose and bears, thanks to a $9.3 million grant. This project not only aims to reduce collisions but also reconnects aquatic habitats for fish. Local leaders are excited about the positive changes, as these tunnels will help keep wildlife safe and make life easier for residents.
