US 93 Hoover Dam Bypass
April 2008
Shortly past where it will cut off from the present routing of US 93. This is the north end of the bypass.
Bridges are already in, but the roadbed is yet to be paved.
South of the previous shot, the new routing seen from present US 93.
The towers on the right support the construction cables that span the gorge.
