Hoover Dam

The countryside through the mountains, colorful hillsides, and deep canyons is just awe inspiring. There is a lot of construction going on widening the roads and building the new connections for the new bridge. They are moving mountains a few boulders at a time.


We stopped for our inspection before nearing Hoover Dam. No explosives found  - we continued.


It is always an impressive site.


I just don’t believe I ever want to cross this bridge. It will replace the drive across the top of Hoover Dam.


The Colorado River, aka Lake Mead,  above the dam.


More photos of the new bridge being constructed.

Wow! They're really moving along now. None of that roadway was there last fall - they were just finishing the supporting arch. Great shots.
