Awesome! I'm Scared To Death Of Hights But That Is Some Nice Photos! Gettin Dizzy Just Looking At Them!
Heck no son! I still remember riding with my folks on Hwy 7 between Clinton and Warsaw and those darned swinging bridges! I have even ridden in my dads pickup with a load of cattle on it as he crossed over that swinging bridge just West of Warsaw. I won't even walk over that darned bridge that is still standing at Warsaw.Quote:

Thanks for sharing those awesome pics. I would like to cross it some day. When is it scheduled to be finished and open for traveling?
They are going to take traffic off the dam. Now it is the only route through there and there are semis, busses, and a bazillion tourists trying to park.
And they are real sweaty about terrorists.
I'd drive over the new bridge. :D
good pit. frosty
I'd love to see it one day. Reckon they'd let you fish off it?!?:confused::D:D:D

Construction of the bridge stared in 2005.....Completion by the end of the year.
The formal name for the bridge is "The Mike O'Callaghan (former governor of Nevada) -Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.
Man,that makes me dizzy
I think the main reason for building this bridge was to prevent a terrorist attack on the dam, i lived in Golden ValleyAZ south of hoover dam and worked at the casinos in Laughlin nv when 9/11 happened, was working the graveyard shift, got home and was called back in two hours later, we were told that if the hoover dam was hit we had 45 mins to evacuate the casino and hotel , folks our hotel alone had over 1200 rooms!! 45 MINUTES!!!:eek:
how the hell do ya evacuate that many people and get them to higher ground in 45 mins:confused:
Float'em out the windows
