UNIQUE PASSAGEWAY WILL PROTECT SMALL MAMMALS FROM COLLISIONS WITH VEHICLES

(15/P53) TRENTON – Crossing a busy road in Bedminster is about to get much easier for turtles and other small mammals, now that a new underground wildlife passageway is open in the township, the Department of Environmental Protection\’s Division of Fish and Wildlife announced today.

For years, numerous turtles, frogs, snakes and other small mammals have been killed along a section of Bedminster\’s River Road in Somerset County, a main corridor that runs parallel to the nearby Raritan River and links Central New Jersey\’s busy Route 202 and Interstate 78. Consequently, the DEP has taken steps to protect the wildlife in this area by installing a first-of-its-kind tunnel system to help these animals cross River Road safely.
