If you’re traveling between Arizona and Nevada anytime soon, you’ll be glad to know that the bridge span over the Colorado River at the Hoover Dam has been completed and is scheduled to open sometime this week! The bridge, officially named the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, may save some drivers about an hour’s worth of time in traffic because drivers will no longer have to go on the two-lane road that follows the curve of the Hoover Dam.

If you missed the construction photos of this impressive concrete bridge span, check out some photos by Jamey Stillings here.
