The construction of the new fish pass will help to support the river's eco system by assisting the migration of salmon, eelsand other species through Ashburn Check Weirs(测流堰) within Dartmoor National Park.Westcountry Rivers Trust and the Environment Agency identified that fish were unable to move upstream due to thefour historic stepped weirs close to the A38 eastbound entry slip road at Buckfastleigh, south Devon. Thanks to an investment of £450,000 from its environment and wellbeing fund, National Highways was able to fund a scheme to adapt the weirs to enable fish to navigate their way upstream to their traditional spawning grounds.The area sits within the national park; the verges around the A38 eastbound entry slip road at Dart Bridge contain species-rich grassland of county-wide importance, and are also home to rare orchids, meaning that the workforce had to tread carefully. As the location also sits within a bat conservation area, no overnight work took place to avoid disturbing bat activity. National Highways' environmental adviser Ben Hewlett said: "We're delighted we could support such a worthwhile projectwhich will help to support aquatic biodiversity close to the A38 ---- a glowing example of how this funding and partnership working can make life better for communities, wildlife and the environment around our roads.' Olivia Cresswell, aquatic services manager at Westcountry Rivers Trust, said: "We are excited these four fish and eel passes, located at the entrance to the River Ashburn, have been created. Fish survey records from the Environment Agency suggest that salmon have been restricted from most of this river since 1999, making this a much-needed construction to improve access to important salmon, trout and eel habitat.’'National Highways is also enabling Cornwall Wildlife Trust to enhance the landscape bordering the A30 - £785,000 from its environment and wellbeing fund helping to restore and recreate about 40 acres of woodland, orchard, grassland and heathland north of Truro. （Best of British   November，2022）4.What once prevented the fish from migrating upstream?A.  A38 eastbound entry slip road B.  Four historic stepped weirs C.  The river's eco systemD.  The new fish pass5.
