This a very unique structure. But let me first explain those names. O’Callaghan was a Nevada governor, famous for persuading Howard Hughes to invest in casinos. Pat Tillman was a football player who volunteered for the U.S. army, and was killed in Afghanistan by friendly fire. ( I would call it unfriendly). Now to that bridge. It is the first concrete – steel composite bridge in the U.S., it has the widest arch of any bridge in the western hemisphere, at 890 feet above the river it is the second tallest in the U.S., it is the only bridge in the U.S. where you are able to look down on a dam (Hoover Dam) that itself is 700 feet tall. To get there take the I-11 south and take the I-93 off ramp to Boulder City. Stay on the 93 until you get to the bridge. Access to the bridge for sight seeing is by taking the Hoover Dam off ramp and following the signs. Parking is available and plentiful. http://www.hooverdambypass.org http://www.npr.org
