What an awesome opportunity to get inside with so few people around & to see the maintenance @TusharSuradkar . I have driven over the dam a dozen times and only stopped to peer over once, and never to take a tour. Once they completed the O’Callaghan-Tillman Memorial Bridge to bypass the dam, I’ve not stepped foot on it.
The bridge itself is an incredible feat of engineering and has a parking lot on the Nevada side to allow travelers to walk across and view the dam. We’re so thankful for the bypass option as it took 30-45 minutes off of the trip from Phoenix to Las Vegas. But, you miss out on the experience of driving on such in important structure for the Southwestern States.
