Etherton Gallery

The Sunday paper had a few pictures of the new bridge over the Colorado river at Hoover Dam. The complete set of pictures is on exhibit at the Etherton Gallery in downtown Tucson.
The first picture is from the Nevada side.

The second shows the two sections nearly complete, but the roadway only extends to the vertical supports at each side.






The third one shows the two parts nearly together. The objects on the ends are transporters that extend outward as each concrete section is poured and set.


The last picture show the roadway being competed. Notice the vertical supports between the arch and the roadway, that weren't in the prior shots.

The gallery has the full set of pictures and it's worth a trip to see them.
