Bison Risk Road Crossing Spurs Call for Wildlife Bridge Near West Yellowstone
A lone bison walked Highway 191 near West Yellowstone triggering slowdowns as it crossed river bridges and a jeep trail. Advocates fear heavy snowpack and migration to calving grounds could push more bison onto the highway this spring. Volunteers and MT DOT dig snow channels to lure the animals to safer routes, amid a park cull that reduced Yellowstone bison by 1,139 through March 31.
