About Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge carries US 93 over the Colorado River beside Hoover Dam. Opened in October 2010, it is 1,900 feet long, with a 1,060-foot arch span, and stands about 890 feet above the river. Drivers cannot see the dam from the roadway, so park in the lot on the Nevada side and take the stairs or accessible ramps up to the pedestrian sidewalk. From there you get a different view of the dam and the river below.
