New Hoover Dam Bridge

07/10/2012 8:53 PM

I suppose this should have gone onto the Civil board but I think there is enough general interest in the pictures for this board.

Progress Photos

I did search but didn't find these.

Those are the same photos as my link, still they are worth a second look.

The difference is that yous link took me to a web page with no obvious link to the photos - I was not disposed to chase further, Solar Eagle's link went straight to the photos......

Thanks Solar Eagle

Yeah, this should have been posted on the Civil Board instead of here.

Who the hell decided to place that bridge there?! It ruins the spectacular and iconic view of the freaking dam from the downstream side! Bad bad decision in my mind. It should have been constructed further downstream or over the lake at least a 1/2 mile away from the dam. Nice bridge, but in the wrong *^%@#%^$#$% spot.

Sorry for using the following U.S. Army jargon, BUT the Law of the 6P's prevailed here on the part of state DOT and the Bureau....."Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance"!

FAIL!!!!!!!!
