Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills is not your normal Caltrans project.

The new crossing's 27 million pounds of concrete have been colored a shade dubbed "dusty mocha" The official name, however, is Federal Standard Color 595-33105 , a hue "inspired" by the soil around the crossing.

Stage 2 involves creating a tunnel over Agoura Road to the south to create a gradual slope that will allow animals to wander off the crossing into the Santa Monica Mountains .

Most of the plants growing at the nursery will be planted on the structure next year .

Once established, the plants shouldn't need much water, but an irrigation system can be activated to wet down the crossing in the event of a wildfire.
