Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge
(Hoover Dam Bypass)
May 11, 2011
During our stay in Las Vegas we took a side trip to the Hoover Dam. There is a new bypass that was completed in October of 2010 spanning the dam. The 1,900 foot bridge is the longest single-span concrete arch bridge in the western hemisphere. After touring around the Hoover Dam we took a ride on the bypass. It was very impressive! You can't see a lot of the dam from the bridge though as it was constructed in such a manner to prevent cars stopping for sightseeing.
