My girl and I were just there over the weekend. So, I guess the dam road will be closed to through traffic when this project is completed. I have been driving over the dam since I was 8. Kind of sucks that we live in a world where we have to live in fear of terrorism.

Yeah I heard they are suppose to close the road to through traffic when the bridge opens in November, I also wish they would keep it open I like the curves going to and from the damn, and I think it would be nice to ride them without so much slower traffic. I rode through there yesterday, did a rosies den breakfast run, before the wind started howling.

I was there two years ago - they were just starting the arch segments. It's cool to see how far along it is now.
