Hoover Dam Arizona side

The Arizona-side approach to Hoover Dam, where U.S. 93 drops out of the Black Mountains and the canyon opens onto the dam crest. A 726-foot concrete arch-gravity wall holding back Lake Mead, completed in 1936 and standing on the Arizona–Nevada line. The Arizona abutment carries the visitor parking structure, the original Winged Figures of the Republic on the dam crest, and the long view downriver to the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, the 2010 span that lifted U.S. 93 traffic 900 feet above the river.
