Hoover Dam revisited

Hoover Dam 2

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s been quite a while since my last post. Life has been very busy, in a good way, but busy none the less. Posting on the site has not been a top priority, and honestly there have been few instances that would be of general interest to publish. But while I was transferring images from my camera today I found new photos of Hoover Dam that were taken about three weeks ago during our drive to Las Vegas, Nevada. I had taken a few photos of the Dam in September when Pete and I went to Vegas for our tenth anniversary, but just a few short months later the progress that has been made, on the bypass bridge especially, is impressive. I have to tip my proverbial hat to the people who built that bridge, as it spans a huge canyon with nothing but a very long fall below. There were no signs indicating when the new bypass and bridge are to be opened, but I can report that the bypass road is under construction but there remain many places where it does not connect. Obviously there is much work left to be done, but I think that it will eventually provide a much needed route around the Dam for those who have already seen it and are just trying to get somewhere.
