Caption: Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Hoover Dam Bypass
Additional Description: A new bridge, spanning more than 1,000 feet across and 900 feet above the mighty Colorado River, is slowly taking shape below Hoover Dam here. It will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road, which can be seen twisting and winding around and across the dam itself. Work on the bridge started in 2005 and should finish in 2010, at a cost of 160 million dollars. When complete, the Hoover Dam Bypass will provide a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona. An estimated 17,000 cars and trucks will cross it every day.
