680 News reported that police closed off an entire lane of traffic to protect the wandering wood-chomper.

Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told Narcity that the animal was rescued and relocated with the help of animal services. 

Oddly enough, this isn't the first time beavers have made headlines this week. In fact, one shut down a subway station entrance just yesterday.
