The completion of this bridge shortens the time it takes traffic to travel between Southern Nevada and Arizona greatly as the original road was 2-lanes very winding and crossed the top of Hoover Dam. There was additional security put into place for the roadway across the dam after 9/11 and this slowed traffic as well.

Hoover Dam Bypass
The Hoover Dam Bypass was completed last week and there were a number of articles about this accomplishment. Here is one of the articles. The real name of the bridge is the Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. This is the second highest bridge in the US, only Royal Gorge Bridge is higher but Royal Gorge bridge is a pedestrian only bridge. The completion of this bridge shortens the time it takes traffic to travel between Southern Nevada and Arizona greatly as the original road was 2-lanes very winding and crossed the top of Hoover Dam. There was additional security put into place for the roadway across the dam after 9/11 and this slowed traffic as well.
