Welcome To Nevada sign displayed on the Mike O'Callaghan & Pat Tillman - Memorial Bridge. The highest & longest concrete arch bridge in the USA. Which carries the Hoover Dam bypass (I-93) between Nevada & Arizona, passing over the Colorado River, 900 feet below.

There is a pedestrian walkway alongside the Hoover Dam bypass, so you can view the Welcome to Nevada sign safely. At the same time you get great views of the Hoover Dam from the bridge viewpoint, 900 feet above the river, 1,500 feet South of the dam. The lookout 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, it runs alongside the I-93 and gives great views, of the Hoover Dam, Black Canyon, and Lake Mead.

I have posted extra photos of the view from the Bridge & the old but more colourful welcome sign, but sadly is without the State slogan.
located on the old Hoover Dam road under the bridge.
