World's largest wildlife crossing is on track to open this winter — unless El Niño intervenes

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills is aiming for a Dec. 2 completion, part of a project meant to give inbred Santa Monica Mountains mountain lions a path to the Simi Hills. Crews have finished the freeway span and an overpass over Agoura Road, but still need to add millions of cubic feet of soil. Rain would halt work: the clay-heavy ground turns slick, and compaction fails in mud.
