Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge

(Reader Contribution to World's Most Extreme Bridges )


The Hoover Dam bypass bridge is a study in superlatives. The highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere. The second-highest bridge of any kind in the United States and 14th in the world. The world's tallest concrete columns of their kind.

But what sets the bridge apart most of all is the setting. It is perched 890 feet above the turquoise Colorado River, wedged between rock cliffs that form Black Canyon, with commanding views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
