Via Francigena is an ancient Roman road running through south-east Kent, and a historically significant pilgrimage route to Rome. The road built by the Romans is virtually non-existent now, but pilgrims still use the path. However, due to technological development and urban expansion, today's Via Francigena has developed elements unfavourable to the passage of people and animals.

Today, the A2 motorway runs through Canterbury due to the demands of motor travel, partially overlapping with the old pilgrimage route and severing wildlife corridors. Signal lights and signposts guide people on safe walking paths, while a lack of safe road crossings for wildlife results in daily roadkills.

This project aims to re-route sections of the Via Francigena while providing wildlife with a dedicated ecological corridor and safe passage across existing infrastructures. The strategy aims to use neglected spaces along the motorway as an evolving "third landscape", creating sanctuaries for wildlife without interfering with agricultural activities. At the same time, the construction of landscape bridges allows for the safe passage of people, wildlife, livestock and vehicles.
