Loading...
Uploaded by FreewayBrent on Nov 18, 2010
This video covers the new 4 lane alignment of the Hoover Dam Bypass, and includes footage of the Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, located 1,600 feet downstream from the Hoover Dam. At 900 feet in height, it is the 2nd tallest bridge in the country.

Weird is...from the Arizona side, the road that interchanges US 93 is no longer open to traffic. Are they making you cross the bridge just to access the Hoover Dam now?
-
@HoltCalifornia: Oh hey, just read this now. I'd say I-15, most definitely. US 95 is only 1 lane in each direction and really not all that interesting, scenery-wise. At least not between US 93 and I-40.

I mean from LV to LA

Which freeway is more fun taking back from LV? US 95 or I-15?

Hi, I've read that you can stop along the road when going to Vegas near the new bridge to actually see Hoover dam from the new bridge? Is this true? I didn't notice any parking grounds before or after the bridge in your vid?

@Mobi666: Hey there. Yes, you can still access the old road (and the parking lot to walk on top of both the Hoover Dam and the new bypass bridge) by getting off at Nevada State Route 172 at Exit 2 (former US 93). In the green annotation at time marker 5:36 in the video, it says "To Hoover Dam Visitor Center." Hope this helps.

@FreewayBrent : Hi thanks but that's not what I meant. I visited the hoover dam last year. I would like to know if you can walk on the new bridge so that you can take some pics of hoover dam from on the bridge. (because with the car you see nothing driving on the bridge)

@Mobi666: Sorry, I guess I didn't make it clear enough/word that correctly...you can walk across both the Hoover Dam...and/or walk across the new bypass bridge, from the parking lot. There's always a steady stream of visitors walking on the new bridge. Hopefully this makes more sense.

2:38 -- When I saw the "DO NOT PASS" sign I was thinking "Why?" but then I saw the cars coming from the other side...

@Coastergeekperson04: Ha, yeah. The good news is that the facility is now 4 lanes throughout; no more construction or paving work.
