And now we learn that the bridge has been finished.
Bridge? What bridge?
Well, it seems that the Hoover Dam bypass bridge has been completed and is scheduled to be open to traffic next week.
Prior to the completion of this bridge most of the traffic from Nevada to Arizona went across the top of Hoover Dam.
Now, with the bypass bridge in service, folks will see Hoover dam at a distance of about 1600 feet to the north as they travel over the new bridge.
But that is not all they will see.
They will also see a stunning view below since this bridge is the second-hightest bridge in the US and the 14th highest in the world. Hmmm. Sounds like another candidate for “scariest bridges’.
Having personally seen the very early beginnings of this bridge under construction, it is exciting to see that it is finally finished. Wow.
Anyway, to read all about it, HERE’S THE LINK.
And for a 3 minute 29 second time lapse video of it being built HERE’S THE LINK.
