AB  - Ecologists, landscape architects, and bridge and structural engineers do not work together often enough, and this paper illustrates the advantages of collaboration in the design of the next generation wildlife crossing. The process and details of collaboration are as unique as the solutions included in the award winning entry for the ARC International Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Competition. This article illustrates the benefits of multidisciplinary collaboration, how ecological restoration was foundational to the design, and how all parties worked to develop a new and innovative highway crossing for wildlife.
