Sorry to say I've been in more states than not, and I've never encountered one. To be fair, my kids attend public school in trailers, so, you know, I don't think the deer are gonna be getting amenities any time soon, but who knows?

From Wikipedia:

In the United States, thousands of wildlife crossings have been built in the past 30 years, including culverts, bridges, and overpasses.
