Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...HDR
At the time of its completion in 1959, the Glen Canyon Dam bridge was the highest arch bridge in the world and the second highest bridge of any type. 50 years later it seems hard to believe that it no longer ranks even among the top 80 with a height of 700 feet. Crossing the Colorado River about 12 miles east of Grand Canyon National Park, the bridge was a necessary component in the construction of the massive Glen Canyon Dam, a concrete gravity arch structure that is just as large as the much more famous Hoover Dam near Las Vegas. Behind the Glen Canyon dam is Lake Powell, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States with a 1,900 mile shoreline. Construction of the dam began in 1956 and ended in 1963.
