Potential location for an overpass for argali (Ovis ammon) at "crossing 2" along road from Oyu Tolgoi (mine site) to Gashuun Sukhait (border Mongolia/China), Gobi, Ömnögovi, Mongolia

Potential location for an overpass for argali (Ovis ammon) at "crossing 2" along road from Oyu Tolgoi (mine site) to Gashuun Sukhait (border Mongolia/China), Gobi, Ömnögovi, Mongolia. The road cuts through a ridge at this location. It appears that argali may travel along ridges, similar to desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) in Arizona, USA.
