Gear  |  Projects
The pictures of the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge are amazing! The photos were shot in September 2009. The entire project is expected to be completed by September 2010. The $240 million, 2,000-foot bridge is part of a larger project, a 3.5-mile corridor that begins in Clark County, Nevada, and ends in Mohave County, Arizona. More construction photos check out here.

$240 MILLION so that people don't have to drive around the little U-shaped road?!

No, $240 million to keep terrorists from being able to get a truck loaded with explosives down onto the dam and blow it up, wiping out the entire western half of the United States' (and possibly the eastern half as well) power grid along with it. Not to mention the catastrophic damage caused by the ensuing flood. That would cost hundreds of billions in damage, so $240 million isn't so bad really. Besides, it'll save quite a lot in security checkpoints that have been in place since 9/11 too. None of those things is cheap.
