The Hoover Dam: The Hoover Dam Gets New Bridge!

After 8 years of hard work and $240 million invested, The Hoover Dam Bridge has finally arrived! The bridge was a solution to a long time problem. Cars used to be routed across the Hoover dam to cross the border between Arizona, and Nevada. In addition to the routing, check points were added after the 9-11 attacks, which caused a lot of traffic jams. Now thanks to the new 4 lane bridge, that has stopped. There’s no more check points and travelers can pass by more quickly.
The Bridge’s Name is what?
The official name of the Bridge is called; The Mike O’Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Whew, what a mouthful! But, I have a feeling people are going to start calling it “The Hoover Dam Bridge.” According to federal officials, it’s the 2nd largest bridge in the United States, and it’s the longest bridge built with concrete arches in the western hemisphere. It’s also beautiful to look at.
Will the Hoover Dam Still be a Tourist Attraction?
The Hoover dam is one of the most visited Las Vegas attractions, there’s no doubt that Hoover dam will still be open to tourists. The bridge is 890 feet above the Colorado River, nestled between the rocks of the Black Canyon, and has spectacular views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The bridge will just add more excitement to the Hoover dam.
