Description
The Hoover Dam Bypass Project (which includes the New Colorado Bridge) is a complex project made up of four miles of roadway (two lanes in each direction), eight bridges, wildlife crossings, a 2,000 foot-long bridge over the Colorado River and various pedestrian and visitor improvements. Because of the magnitude of this project, it will be constructed in four distinct phases: the Arizona Approach, the Nevada Approach, the Colorado River Bridge, and final roadway surfacing. Construction of the Arizona approach has begun followed by the Nevada Approach
in this perspective one can not see the workers on the left side but they are there
thanks for viewing and comments.I am still way behind in the galleries. I found my safe by a local creek but it and contents were ruined and none of my software was there.

That is awesome they are fixing it up. The one thing that Obama did that I like is that any job over 25 mil has to have Union workers on them. We are the only Union portable toilet company around. Fantastic shot Richard

Working up there is something only a few can be comfortable at. Excellent photo and explanation.

Gorgeous shot!!! Sounds like you're the one doing all the detective work.. Good luck in tracking down the culprits..

Great shot and info Richard! My grandfather worked on the Hoover Dam (originally named Boulder Dam) and stayed in Boulder City that was built for the workers. I have letters that he wrote to my gran while he stayed there and she was still in Washington state. I am sure he would be very intrigued at this new project:-)

Holy cow - I would hate to be one of those workers! Such dangerous work. Wonderful POV for this - really shows the danger and the amazing task they have ahead of this. Really cool shot.

What a great shot! Impressive and massive construction project and quite a precarious and dangerous project too, with those huge power lines in the background! So sorry about your safe and cd's!

Big project, great view; and a scary thought when I looked close & realized the bridge height: Can you imagine being in the middle just when a strong Earthquake hit? Ohhh!

The perspective on it is fantastic!

The absurdity operates on many different levels, including the absolute ignorance of modern engineers, who are far inferior to the ancients, and especially the deluded American variety. Examined closely one sees another formula for catastrophe, and a stupid arrogance, mainly Protestant, so great as to be effectively impenetrable. Bon appetit.
