SEATTLE — More than a hundred goats have descended under the Interstate 5 Ship Canal Bridge, using four-hoof drive to clear vegetation from the right of way.
The voracious eaters, hard at work for the Seattle Department of Transportation, began last Friday and will be there through Monday, according to spokesperson Alison Lorenz.
The 115 ungulates are advantageous for the job since they can navigate steep slopes that people and equipment cannot easily or safely reach. They're also an environmentally friendly alternative to herbicide, Lorenz said.
