I drive over Hoover Damn during occasional trips to Vegas. I have seen the new bridge take shape from its inception. Pretty amazing. An engineering marvel for sure.

Ikes... Looks like something from a nightmare I had as a kid, about crossing a huge bridge... How much of an earthquake would that thing withstand anyway?

Here's a snap I took from the car on my last trip in January.

Great post, thanks.
But, you think the AP could include the name of the bridge?
The Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, or, the M&P to some.

...eliminating much of a sometimes hourlong bottleneck as traffic creeps over the dam on the key route between Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Prostitution? Gambling? Alcohol? Obviously this bridge construction is an insult to Moslems. Thanks JoeProBono.
