The Colorado River Bridge is the landmark portion of the Hoover Dam Bypass I-93 Project. The bridge has a dedicated viewing area, 900 feet above the Colorado River, with great views of the Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead, but the views are not as good as the satellite view.
The bridge viewpoint, 900 feet above the river, has pedestrian access, from a parking area on the Nevada side off the Interstate-93.
From the car park is a steep climb via zig zag path, with several rest areas and information boards.
The dedicated viewing area on the bridge, has no exit, so you are unable to cross the bridge, or the border from Nevada into Arizona. The viewing area runs alongside the I-93 and gives great views, of the Hoover Dam, Black Canyon, and Lake Mead.
Opening times and fees:
Free access - Dawn to Dusk.
