UDOT will install three miles of fence along Interstate 80 and Interstate 84 as part of a seven-phase project.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the Department of Transportation are working to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions around the state.

In 2024 the agencies and other partners installed five structures and completed two studies to help wildlife and fish migrate safely in various parts of Utah.

As part of the project, three miles of wildlife fencing at Echo Junction was installed.

Two studies on migration patterns and collisions were also conducted last year, including a wildlife-vehicle collision mitigation study along state Route 248 which is nearing completion.
