All heavy truck traffic has been routed off the Hoover Dam since the 9-11 attacks due to national "infrastructure" security concerns and this has had the effect of keeping semi-trucks from traveling through Boulder City.
A bypass bridge for the dam at a cost of approx. a combined total of 750 Million dollars is currently under construction with completion by Jan. 2011 of the bridge portion of the project, with major bypass route to be possible.
The bridge may or maynot allow heavy trucks to cross depending on security concerns to our national security at the time of opening. This bridge is to be named after two national war hero's one of which is Tillman. The opening of this bridge may increase traffic through Boulder City which they are currently planning on routing through their industrial district which is on the opposite side of U.S. 93 from the City's residential core.
