Bridge Design for the Birds

Officials say that the latest design for a new Peace Bridge in Buffalo is going to have to be changed. Apparently there are environmental concerns that the design could be harmful to birds, the common tern and to fish, the silvery emerald shiner. The bridge is located on a "bird travel corridor" and federal and state officials say it needs to be lower. The current design is 567-feet-high.
