Not too long ago I took the wife's family to Banff, we checked out one of the information buildings, they showed a time-lapse video of the various animals that cross (pretty much every type of large mammal in the park). Was very interesting and nice to see.
I've read a lot about these, as I often drive under one in Montana. They are a tremendous success!
People in cities need something similar. It would be hugely beneficial to have a bustling business district lined up on the left and right side of urban freeway crossings.

I'm curious how they are engineering these overpasses to not be slowly torn apart by tree roots, if they even consider that at all.

But, even if not - rebuilding them every 15 years might be cheaper than sound engineering for this problem space. After all, they don't have to handle 40 ton trucks or 50 cars at a time.

I think this is more a question of planting trees with roots that don't go too deep. But, even if not - rebuilding them every 15 years might be cheaper than sound engineering for this problem space. After all, they don't have to handle 40 ton trucks or 50 cars at a time.
