After watching a TV show I recorded a few weeks ago on megastructures, I thought I'd have a look at the Google Earth view of the Hoover Dam... Something caught my eye, a short length of new roadway being built just the south... I wonder what that is ???
Well checking a few Google pages, finally found me this Welcome to the Hoover Dam Bypass Website
Notable for it's "wow" factor, even to me a seasoned 3D Studio user of 10 years, was the animation available for download halfway down this page Animation
An amazing piece of highway engineering...
Now wheres my fantasy plan for the Scottish Highlands west coast motorway ! Dream on !
Hoover Dam Bypass US93

yes, it looks good. Hopefully US93 will be at least D2 between LV and I-40. The Hoover Dam bypass is the hardest and most needed bit, yes Arizona don't seem to bothered about US93 south of here. When I was there in '03 it looked pretty impressive what they had done so far, and they had barely started. I wonder if they'll have something impressive on the state line (halfway along the bridge), like the two clocks on the dam (which show the same time during summer, as AZ doesn't have DST)
