Oh and the construction has come at a price, One person fell to the death while working on the bridge already. Oh and Here's the picture from the caption thread.



I don't want to trivialise a life, but only 1 death is good compared to the loss of life suffered during the construction of the dam.

That bridge is going to look great once completed. It adds another marvel to the area where there is already the Hoover dam.

Well, I've had it for the day. So I suppose this is me signing out... 'night all.

That bridge is looking mighty impressive. I am going to pass by the Hoover Dam in June to take a look for myself.

It's the Largest Concrete Arch Bridge in North America I think(or at least It will be when completed, Two marvels for the price of one in view of each other, Who'd of thunk It), It's supposed to be completed sometime in 2010 and their at least a month ahead of schedule I've read.

Oh and the construction has come at a price, One person fell to the death while working on the bridge already. Oh and Here's the picture from the caption thread.

Here's the same bridge from the other side of Black Canyon above the current route of US Hwy 93 and the other picture is in the caption thread.

Ah yes, but since it is mine, I asked that it be passed to Gary since he did NOT win. It is the least I can do for him;)

Yer impossible.
