101 Freeway Closures Expected For Wildlife Crossing Construction

AGOURA HILLS, CA — The Ventura (101) Freeway will have closures this week for construction on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing.

The freeway may have 2 lanes in each direction closed near Liberty Canyon Road between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. through the end of the week, according to Caltrans.

Overnight crews will be working to form bridge columns in the median of the freeway. To watch the construction live, visit this link.

Construction started on the massive wildlife freeway project in 2022 and is expected to last through 2025.

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing will offer pumas a safer alternative in the form of a 210-foot long and 170-foot wide bridge over the Liberty Canyon Road exit on the 101 freeway — the "most significant barrier to the ecological health of the region," according to the National Wildlife Foundation.
