After cost overruns and delays pushed back the project by at least a year, the world’s largest wildlife bridge finally has a ribbon-cutting date.

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills is expected to open on Dec. 2, four-and-a-half years after work began, project leaders announced Wednesday during an Earth Day news conference.

“What a journey this has been! And we cannot wait to celebrate with you all,” managers said.

The main section of the bridge, spanning 10 lanes of the busy freeway, is largely completed and landscaped. The remaining work involves building a crossing over Agoura Road and then connecting both ends of the bridge to adjacent open space, allowing wildlife to safely pass through.
