The new bridge, the Hoover Dam Bypass, under construction, is 900 feet above the mighty Colorado River and links Nevada and Arizona. Each arch measures 1,000 feet and is cast on site. When the arches are in place, the temporary suspending cables on each side will be removed. The bridge will carry a new section of US Route 93, so traffic will not cross the dam itself anymore. In an incredible feat of engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete arches which jut out of the rock face. Work on the bridge started in 2005 and should finish in 2010. An estimated 17,000 cars and trucks will cross it every day.

Hoover Dam was started in 1931 and used enough concrete to build a road from New York to San Francisco. The body of water it created, Lake Mead , is 110 miles long and took six years to fill. The original road was opened at the same time as the famous dam in 1936.
