This is a memorial to the mascot dog by the builders of the dam.
Overview of the dam and area below.
Sculpture of the workers of the dam.
Sign depicting the Native Nations.
New bridge over the Hoover Dam. Double click to get an idea of the height. Notice the start of the arching portion at the base of the cement pilings. The pilings stop at this point from into the ground and the steel arch forms the rest of the bridge. The pilings would be off the arch up to the roadbed.
Note the cable car used to transport the workers.
This is the steel arch that is being built across the water to form the lower portion and support of the bridge.
These are cranes being used to set the cement in place as it is built.
An overview of the dam and current road. The water is really low as shown by the white walls. Also the museum at lower right can be seen from the parking structure.
