Visiting the Hoover Dam & Memorial Bridge

WillVisiting the Hoover Dam Memorial Bridge

This past summer we made a stop at the Hoover Dam on the way to Las Vegas. We stopped at the Lake Mead Overlook, the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (also known as the bypass bridge) and we walked down to walk over the hoover dam.

The Hoover Dam Memorial Bridge is the 2nd highest bridge in the United States spanning 890’ over the Colorado River and the widest concrete arch in the Western Hemisphere spanning from Arizona to Nevada.

This bridge was opened in 2010 and re-routed traffic from having to pass over top of the dam itself. Try

Mike O’Callaghan was the governor of Nevada from 1971-1979 and Pat Tillman was an Arizona cardinals football player who left his football career after 9/11 to enlist in the united states army and was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan.

Mike O’Callaghan was the governor of Nevada from 1971-1979 he executive editor at the Las Vegas Sun newspaper for many years. An interesting fact, Mike O'Callaghan was U.S. Senator Harry Reid's history teacher at Basic High School in Henderson and later promoted Reid's political career.
