In mid November, the Hoover Dam Bypass will be open to traffic, substantially reducing the drive time from Las Vegas and California to Grand Canyon West, home of the world famous Skywalk glass walkway. Hundreds of thousands of visitors each year drive their own vehicles to Grand Canyon West, which before the Bypass was complete, was a 2.5 to 3 hour drive east of Las Vegas. The Hoover Dam Bypass is expected to take more than one hour off of the travel time roundtrip because now travelers can bypass the congestion caused by having to go over the dam.
I was able to see the bridge not too long ago and all that was remaining was the very last road section at the center. You can bet that Alp (My Class C) and I will soon be making the trip across the bridge to see the spectacular new view of the dam.
