Hi Everyone-

I'm heading up to Kingman/Bullhead City for Xmas and plan to continue up to Vegas for a couple days and play with the neon at night. Have any of you been across the new bypass? I travelled through a couple times during the construction but haven't been back since completion. I would figure that I could shoot the dam from it but wonder if anyone might have some tips as to shooting the bypass bridge as well. My best guess would be late afternoon/sunset shooting east.

Any info would be apprecieated-

Bob

Have not been across it yet but I hope it cuts down on the traffic jam that was the dam.

Good luck with photographing from it and let us know if it works out.

I haven't been across the bridge but I saw an article about it in a Parade Magazine article on a recent Sunday morning. The slideshow inside the article link below has construction photos which may give you an idea of the scale of the area and possible shooting angles. Link below.
