Visiting Hoover Dam: A Traveler’s Guide The Mike O'Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge downstream of Hoover Dam officially opened to traffic in October 2010. Vehicles travelling on U.S. Highway 93 no longer cross the dam. Visitors to the dam must now exit U.S. 93 at Nevada State Route 172 to reach the site. The dam is not open to through-traffic. The roadway on the Arizona side of the site has been closed. Vehicles can still cross the dam to visit the Arizona viewpoints and concessions, but all are required to turn around and re-enter Nevada to access Highway 93. Visitors who have Hoover Dam as a destination in their travel plans need to know a few facts, as there are some restrictions around the site. All vehicles entering the dam site are subject to inspection by officers at the security checkpoint located in Nevada approximately one mile from the dam.
