Cable stays extend from temporary pylons down to their anchor points on the Arizona side. Twelve years in planning and five years in construction, the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is finally taking shape. The structure, which is known more widely as the Hoover Dam Bridge or Bypass, is on schedule for its September 2010 completion date. Rising 890 ft above the Colorado River, when finished, its total length will be 1,900 ft, with its longest supported span running to 1,080 ft
