Description
This report investigates the impact of highways and landscape connectivity in Colorado. To do so, it describes three complementary research questions. Given the threat of roads to both wildlife populations and human safety, describing the distribution of animal-vehicle collisions (AVC) is a necessary step in understanding potential roadway impacts.

Description
The ongoing deterioration of highway bridges in Colorado dictates that an effective method for allocating limited management resources be developed. In order to predict bridge deterioration in advance, mechanistic models that analyze the physical processes causing deterioration are capable of supplementing purely statistical models and addressing limitations associated with bridge inspection data and statistical methods. A review of existing analytical...

Description
Wildlife crossing structures (WCSs), underpasses, and overpasses are widely used for the safe travel of larger wildlife species across roads and highways, reducing wildlife-related vehicle collisions to drivers. WCSs are often expensive to build and maintain, and therefore determining a cost-effective, optimal design is a challenge faced by departments of transportation across the United States and elsewhere. Although much research has been conducted...

Description
This research monitored the effectiveness of a wildlife mitigation project on SH 9 in Grand County Colorado. The purpose of the mitigation was to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions while providing permeability for wildlife across the highway. was designed to improve driver safety while allowing for wildlife movement across the road. This study uses motion-activated cameras and WVC crash and carcass data to determine how successful the mitigation...
