The Hoover Dam Bypass

A friend sent me an update on the continuing construction of this new bridge which will afford a great view of the dam and eliminate the current mess at the top of it as people are slowed down by checks by homeland security on US-93. That would be really bad if terrorists set off explosives on it.

The pictures show an impressive superstructure at this time, although most will be removed at completion. The suspension part is just to hold up the massive twin arches during construction, but hopefully they will put something back. I always hate driving over a bridge and not knowing its a bridge.

Maybe two towers just for show would be in order. Hopefully the sides of the bridge will not be built in such a way as to obstruct any views of the dam.

More to Come. --RoadDog
