Ecoducts in Holland

I wasn't quite sure where to place this thread, I was going to put it in environmental issues but it didn't fit into any of the catagories.

Someone from England asked me the other day what I knew about "Green bridges" in Holland. I vaguely remebered something about them in the Hoge Veluwe National Park to aid wild life crossing busy roads. So I checked it out and found this info which shows exactly what Ecoducts are, I thought I would share it.
They are pretty impressive and that they work for what they were intended is even better.

In Cumbria in England I have seen bridges across the motorway for farmers to get their animals from one part of their land to another when the motorway cuts through - but this isn't the same.
I have also seen ropes high above the roads for red squirrels to cross.

Are there structures similar this else where in the world to help wildlife?
