Scandal in Passau: Millions of bridge for bats ensures outrage!

In the district of Passau, an expensive bridge project ensures headlines: A multi -million dollar bridge for bats is being built via the future A94 motorway, as reported in the latest black book by the taxpayer Association. The costs amount to three to four million euros for a 50 meter long building, which is intended to serve as a safe transition for the highly protected animals that have an important air corridor there.

But the big question remains: Will the bats use the bridge at all? Experts doubt this because these animals often prefer underpass and rarely fly over streets. Future monitoring measures should clarify whether the bridge will actually be accepted. In addition, there is a bike path on the bridge, but the need for this transfer is questioned, since another bridge already exists only a hundred meters away. The consequences for dealing with tax money seem to be on the agenda here, as reports www.merkur.de .
