The 3.5-mile, $234 million Hoover Dam bypass, which includes a river-spanning bridge,

Well that's good.....it'd be hell to drive around it.

LOL. I wonder how many other types of "bridges" there are. Perhaps a "partial span" bridge that goes halfway across and then stops?

No bridge = No bypass.

The dam road was periodically problematic even before 9-11,
due to traffic density, tourist cars backed up at the
parking garage, and foot traffic on the dam.

Travel via the dam became completely unpredictable after
9-11. I consider the dam road closed already, and use
US95/NV163/AZ68 thru Laughlin for a Route between Las
Vegas and I40 E (which is the majority of the affected
traffic).

Once the new bypass bridge is opne, expect the dam road
to be closed to all except pedestrians and official vehicles.
