... but I'm not sure they'd be much use for a hedgehog with vertigo.

Yes, surely they will save a few animal lives but they are also important for flightless invertebrates and even plants. As the climate changes, insects and plants will need to move northwards (or southwards if the climate starts to cool) which will be very difficult if they must cross 100km of concrete desert ... thus the need for corridors.

I do, also, have this view of small animals leaping from a bridge like this onto the top of a 97 'bus and getting a free ride to Epping Forest!
