Beautiful!  Of all the times I have been in that area, I never had the chance to stop and check it out.  Someday I'll get there though.

When I flew over Hoover Dam on my helicopter tour, the bridge was not even connected at both ends. It looks like they're making great progress on it. Any idea when it will be finished?
