Looking at the dam and the 4 water intakes.
the red lines which indicate the reservoir level at capacity. The next image is a close up of the dam
and the bridge being built to replace US 93 travel across the top of the dam.
Two red
lines point to the traffic crossing the top
of the dam.
In a few
years, traffic will travel across the Colorado river gorge on a suspension
bridge
currently
under construction. Note the two red
lines pointing to the pillars in the distance.
This
view is downstream from atop Hoover Dam. Note the bridge
construction
on each side of the gorge (crane on the left, pillars on the right).
