Hoover Dam bypass bridge rises under a shadow Measuring up to Hoover Dam presents a challenge By ADRIENNE PACKER LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

The Hoover Dam bypass bridge looks spectacular, stretching 1,900 feet across Black Canyon and 900 feet above the churning Colorado River. Tourists visiting the world-famous Hoover Dam can't help but swing around and snap photos of the new span high above. Dave Zanetell, the project manager of the bridge, recognized that early on. "We are in the shadow of Hoover Dam," he said. "We are not only building a very tough civil works project, but we're doing it in the shadow of the greatest civil engineering project ever created. It creates a heavy standard of responsibility."
