Vehicle Transport in Western US Gets a Boost

The speed of auto transport in Southern California is about to get a boost, after being forced to take a 75-mile detour to make it to regions on the other side of the Hoover Dam, since September 11, 2001. Next week the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge will open to traffic, which will shorten the job of transporting cars in Southern California and hopefully reduce noted traffic congestion on the two lanes of the Hover Dam, according to officials and transport professionals applauding this news. This week United States Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was in Southern California on Thursday taking a look at the new bypass bridge and making a few speeches and dedications.

This is great news for national vehicle shipping firms transporting vehicles in the western United States as the Hover Dam is a very important to keeping the flow of transport moving in this region of America. Reports indicate that there were about 1,000 construction workers on hand for the naming of the bypass bridge, which will be called the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. The western hemisphere's longest single-span concrete arch bridge and one of the tallest bridges in the world, the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is a 1,900-foot long bridge that's an important part of a $240 million four-lane bypass designed and engineered to reroute traffic for 3.5 miles from the two-lane bottleneck on US 93 across the Hoover Dam.

Transport professionals car hauling in the western United States that want to take a look at the new Mike Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge will find this amazing bridge on the Arizona/Nevada border about 40 miles east of Las Vegas. Drop by and take a look at the bridge and give it a try and let the world know what you think. We want to make sure we give credit when it's due and criticism when necessary.
