View of the Hoover Dam and the newly completed by-pass bridge (background) which spans the Colorado River and will be dedicated on October 14 at its site on the border of Arizona and Nevada , on October 13, 2010. Construction on the nearly 2,000-foot-long (609-meter) bridge began in late January 2005 and the bridge spans the Black Canyon (south of the Hoover Dam) and rises nearly 900-feet above the Colorado River. As a consequence of the heightened security following the September 11, 2001 attacks, truck traffic over the Hoover Dam had been banned, in an effort to safeguard the dam from hazardous spills or explosions. However this has not eliminated the threat of a possible attack on the dam, as regular traffic still passes over it and the new bypass bridge will replace the dangerous dam roadway, and reduce the possibility of an attack or accident.
