Hoover Dam-Bypass Bridge

A new bypass bride is built on the Colorado River near Hoover Dam. This project was completed in 8 years at a cost of $ 240,000,000. The 1,900-foot engineering marvel 890 meters above the Colorado River sits to drastically cut travel time along the main route between Las Vegas and Phoenix are recognized as drivers no longer have their way over the dam's winding two-lane road made up at a snail's pace.





"I know that the Hoover Dam is one of the wonders of the world," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said at a dedication ceremony on Thursday. "I do not know who is this name, but I hope that the bridge is another wonder of the world."

LaHood and his delegation of government officials, including Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada rang, the span linking the silver and the Grand Canyon State as a key example of it worked to update nationwide infrastructure of the country.
