    The Hoover Dam Bypass
    THE HOOVER DAM BYPASS

    If one is looking to bypass something as structurally awe-inspiring as the Hoover Dam, you can be sure the resulting engineering feat will be just as impressive.

    That is why the spectacle of the dam bypass bridge taking shape is a jaw-dropping sight to behold.

    Officially named The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, the structure spanning the Colorado River is on course to offer sightseers double the spectacle for their money.

    Construction began in late January 2005 and the completion of the entire Hoover Dam Bypass Project is expected in June 2010 at an estimated cost of about $240 million.

    The bridge section will stretch nearly 2,000ft over the Black Canyon, 1,600 feet south of the dam, and nearly 900-feet above the river. Its 1,060 foot twin-rib arch will be the longest concrete arch in America.

    Its main job is to hook up the Arizona and Nevada Approach highways, thereby diverting the flow of vehicles from the actual dam itself.

    The highway is the main link between Las Vegas and Phoenix, two cities that have seen population explosions since the dam was first completed in 1935.

    It is thought that more than 17,000 cars and trucks will use the new bridge daily, although the number could grow by 50 percent in the next two decades.

    Another more serious reason is the threat of a terrorist attack on the dam, something that saw trucks permanently banned from the road after September 11, 2001.

    The bridge has been named in memory of Mike O'Callaghan, the Governor of Nevada in the 1970s and a veteran of the Korean War, and Pat Tillman, who gave up his career as a superstar American footballer to serve in the US Army in Afghanistan. He wa...
