This artist's rendering from the Oregon Department of Transportation shows what Oregon's first wildlife overpass might look like if it is built over Interstate 5 near the Siskiyou Summit. It could be 150-200 feet wide or wider and connect with federal land on both sides of the freeway within the Cascades-Siskiyou National Monument.
This view of Interstate 5 looks south and shows the location of a proposed wildlife overpass at milepost 1.7, about where the dark vehicle heading north is located at center. The site is about two miles south of the Siskiyou Summit.
This graphic documents wildlife-vehicle crashes on Interstate 5 between Ashland and the Oregon-California border during a five-year period beginning in 2016. A wildlife crossing is proposed near milepost 1.7.
This image from the Oregon Department of Transportation shows documented deer and elk crashes on Oregon highways, although many crashes aren't reported. Particularly high crash locations are Highway 138 near Roseburg, Highway 20 northwest of Bend and highways around Klamath Falls.

Plans are moving along for a wide, landscaped wildlife overpass spanning Interstate 5 about two miles north of the California-Oregon border.
The Oregon Department of Transportation earlier this year agreed to spend $1.5 million toward design of the crossing, and the agency in August applied to the U.S. Department of Transportation for a grant to build it, at an estimated cost of $20 million.
