At the present time you travel over Nevada Route 93 to get to Hoover Dam. The highway actually crosses over the top of the dam. I recall seeing a program on TV that an alternate route was being built to take traffic off of the dam for security purposes. The new roadway uses several bridges to cross the deep gorges. This picture shows how high one of the bridges will be as it by-passes the dam. It is amazing that they are building this bridge where they are. The new road will be 4 lanes compared to the two lane twisting winding road they have today.
