Hoover Dam is on Route 93 (Route 93), lying in a north-south direction and connects with the Canadian Arizona border. Part of the highway adjacent to the dam does not match the line and the volume of traffic transmitted. The road has only one lane in each direction, streamers coming down to the dam, includes several steep and narrow turns, as well as places with poor visibility, the road is subject to landslides. This must change with the expected commissioning in late 2010 road bridge - Hoover Dam Bypass - a Black Canyon. Hoover Dam Bypass - April 2009

 

Lake Mead. Four-way (two lanes in each direction), high arched concrete bridge will connect the upper part of the canyon at 0.5 miles downstream from Hoover Dam.
 At the same time the road will be shortened and spryamlena, as it will get rid of serpentine, down from the west and east of Black Canyon to Hoover Dam.
 The bridge - 700 meters height above the Colorado River - 300 meters. One of the most interesting bridges in North America, and perhaps the entire continent.

 The bridge consists of two parallel reinforced concrete arches, curved upwards, ending at the shore, which are based on vertical pylons used to support the upper spans of the bridge roadway.
 Hoover Dam Bypass - April 2009
 As of January 2010 erected two lower side arches of the bridge with piers resting on them, as well as half of the roadway itself a bridge.
 Also completed the construction of the West (from Nevada) and eastern (Arizona) approaches to the bridge - it will soon begin paving the road straightened.

 After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 vehicular traffic across the dam was limited to
 Some types of machines are inspected before passing mandatory in order to eliminate trafficking in explosives and other inspected periodically.
 For travel trailers banned - they are going to detour across the bridge in the town of Laughlin, Nevada.

 That prompted the adoption of such measures to accelerate the project to build the bridge across the Black Canyon of the Hoover Dam bypass with a significant shift in terms of it.
