Renoducts For Red-nosed Reindeer?

Sweden is to build around a dozen renoducts (bridges for reindeer) in the north of their country (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/20/sweden-to-build-bridges-for-reindeer-to-safely-cross-roads-and-railways). The renoducts will facilitate the safe crossing of roads and rail tracks by the reindeer (contrary to belief, they cannot fly). It seems that these animals have been forced to move to new foraging areas by the effects of climate change.
