Have you ever heard of Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge? No. Then you’ve missed a lot. Hoover Dam Bypass is not the most dangerous in the world, it’s not the tallest or the biggest one but it is still stunning and worth our attention.
The following pictures were made in September 2009. Some amusing facts about the dam:
The dam is:
- 726.4 feet high;
- larger than the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
- 1,244 feet across at the top.
Also the dam:
- weighs 6.6 millions ton;
- has a power generating capacity of 2.8 million kilowatts;
- costs ONLY $49,000,000!
Building of the dam was completed 2 years ahead of schedule. The dam is filled with 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete.
Sounds impressive, yeah?!
