Description
Photograph of construction roads near Hoover Dam, ca.1933. Dim water flows below a thin, metal bridge at center and is contained by the two opposing mountainsides. The road which runs over the bridge continues to the right as it winds splits into several dirt roads that wind through the edge of the mountain and connect the several large buildings of the construction site. The bridge road also continues to a single, wide road that rides the mountain's edge into the background on the left.
