The footage was posted on X Wednesday by Beth Pratt, the California regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation.
"Don't Stop Believing! That's always been my theme song for the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing!" Pratt wrote in the video's caption, referring to the popular 1981 song by Journey. "We did it! I get emotional everytime I drive UNDER this bridge knowing what it will mean for wildlife."
After weeks of overnight lane closures, the project reached a construction milestone last month when its final girder was installed.
Installation of the girders began on April 15, starting on the southbound side of the freeway. At the beginning of May, the work shifted to the northbound side.
