Marbleton Town Hall in Big Piney, Wyoming is proud to announce the completion of the Dry Piney Wildlife Crossing Project. Led by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the Wyoming Department of Transportation, this project includes nine underpasses and 17 miles of 8-foot tall fencing on both sides of U.S. Highway 189. The aim of the project is to encourage big game animals, such as mule deer and pronghorn, to use the underpasses and avoid wildlife-vehicle collisions, making the highway safer for both motorists and wildlife.
The Dry Piney Wildlife Crossing Project is a significant step towards reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions in the area, which has one of the highest collision rates in Wyoming. With the completion of this project, big game animals are actively using the underpasses, ensuring their safety and preserving the crucial winter range for the mule deer herd in the Wyoming Range. The project was made possible through the support of various organizations, landowners, and government commissions, and is part of Wyoming's larger effort to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions statewide.
