Road closures in place as Annenberg Wildlife Crossing construction continues

Agoura Road in Agoura Hills will be closed for most of the day on Wednesday as crews work on the final stages of the Annenberg Wildlife Crossing project.

Crews will perform concrete placement during that time frame.

Project leaders said last summer that construction of the bridge is in its final stages and is expected to be completed this year. The bridge, made with 26 million pounds of concrete, is constructed for animal use only, with no humans permitted.

It's designed to allow wildlife to cross from the Santa Monica Mountains to the Sierra Madre Range in a safe manner.
