Such an engineering feat!
ive driven on hoover dam since before the construction started. and every time you could see the to sides getting closer and closer together. to think that you start from two sides of a canyon and meet up with only a difference of a millimeter is incredible. i can't wait till this is done so i can drive over it and check it out

Nice! I didn't know they started either. Almost a decade after 9/11.... sounds about right in this day and age. Anyone hear of the Auburn Damn? Probably not, they gave up after 30 years or so of red tape, environmental studies, etc.
It's a shame you can't experience driving over the damn, but probably a good decision. The new bridge will speed up traffic too |
