Hoover Dam
Hoover Dam from the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge
We stopped to see the incredible and massive Hoover Dam on our first cross-country of 2019.
Most of the photos here are from the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. As the world’s tallest concrete arch bridge, it is the first concrete-steel arch composite bridge in the United States and towers 880 feet over Hoover Dam. The 1,905-foot-long man made bridge connects both Nevada and Arizona roadways, so it’s fitting that it’s named the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, as it honors a hero from each state. The massive engineered wonder is the widest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
