Hoover Dam area Pics

Here are a ton of pics we snapped when we were in the Hoover Dam area:

The above pics were snapped when we were on US 93 driving towards the Dam

These were snapped at a "Wayside Rest" in the vicinity of the Dam

Me doing my best "The Price Is Right" pose to present the damage to the "Impaler"

Looks as if they're building a bypass for US 93 so it won't cross over the Hoover Dam

Well after doing some searching on the internet, I found that the "Hoover Dam Bypass" is scheduled to be completed in late 2008.  They are building a bridge to span the Colorado river just south of the dam, and so far the approaches on the Arizona and Nevada sides are finished.  All that's left for them is to build the span over the river itself.

Here's the "official" site detailing the project
