Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

These pictures are taken of the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge from the Hoover Dam at the Arizona/Nevada border on what is now old Route 93. The top photo shows the completed bridge today, the bottom photo shows the partial completed bridge as of March 29, 2010.  The bridge was opened to traffic on October 19, 2010.  The bridge reroutes Route 93 traffic that previously had been routed along the top of the Dam.  The bridge is named after a former Governor of Nevada and the Arizona Cardinal football player.  The arch bridge is 840 feet above the Colorado River making it the second highest in the USA behind the Royal Gorge Bridge near Canon City, Colorado.  One should remember that bridge of a photo in a earlier posting.
