    I see that now. They reckon each bridge pays for itself in 15 years due to fewer road crashes.

      And that’s probably not taking into account the externalities for things like wildlife conservation.

        I saw some of these going through Banff years ago where the bridge itself was all natural as well. So small trees, shrubs etc. It looked really cool esthetically as well. Its a small thing, but still a thing.
