Abstract:

The US Highway 93 North reconstruction project on the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwest Montana represents one of the most extensive wildlife-sensitive highway design efforts to date in North America. The reconstruction of the 56 mile (90 km) long road section included the installation of wildlife crossing structures at 39 locations and approximately 8.71 miles (14.01 km) of road with wildlife exclusion fences on both sides. The mitigation measures were aimed at improving safety for the traveling public through reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions and allowing wildlife to continue to move across the road. This report summarizes research conducted between 2002 and 2015. The research focused on the effectiveness of the mitigation measures in reducing collisions with large mammals, and the use of the crossing structures (specifically by white-tailed deer, mule deer, and black bear). In addition, the effectiveness of wildlife guards (similar to cattle guards), wildlife jump-outs and a human access point was evaluated. Finally, the researchers conducted cost-benefit analyses and formulated recommendations.
