VIEW HOOVER DAM BRIDGE CAMERAS →The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge — commonly called the Hoover Dam Bypass or Hoover Dam Bridge — is an arch bridge spanning the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona, approximately 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Per Wikipedia's Memorial Bridge entry, the bridge opened October 19, 2010, carrying Interstate 11 and US Route 93 across the Colorado River. Key facts: 1,900 feet total length, 1,060 feet main span, 890 feet above the Colorado River — making it the 2nd highest bridge in the United States after the Royal Gorge Bridge near Cañon City, Colorado. The bridge was the first concrete-steel composite deck arch bridge built in the United States and incorporates the widest concrete arch in the Western Hemisphere. The Hoover Dam Bypass project rerouted US-93 from its previous routing along the top of Hoover Dam, removing several hairpin turns and blind curves. The bridge is jointly named for Mike O'Callaghan (Nevada Governor 1971-1979) and Pat Tillman (NFL Arizona Cardinals safety who left his football career to enlist in the US Army Rangers and was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004). NDOT, ADOT, and Nevada 511 provide approach camera coverage.

For visitors touring Hoover Dam:
- Hoover Dam visitor center is on the Nevada side of the dam (not the bridge). Take US-93 exit to the dam.
- Pedestrian walkway on the bridge is separate — accessed from the Arizona-side parking lot.
- Dam and bridge are different visits — allow time for both.
- I-11 Boulder City Bypass (opened 2018) separates through-traffic from dam visitors — use I-11 if you're not visiting.
- Peak dam visit times: 9 AM - 4 PM, especially weekends.
- Best photos: sunrise and sunset from the pedestrian walkway looking down at the dam 890 feet below.
