Photographer's notes: "Evening aerial view of the dam and bridge. Twelve tub (box) girders spanned the central pier caps of the bridge forming part of the substructure for the roadbed. Note: This photo was taken well after sunset and was only possible because of the state of digital technology in 2010." Site Name: Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

Photographer's notes: "The final tub girder of the bridge's construction is brought into position, April 15, 2010. Note: I desired to switch my location for these final installation shots, but it would have been impossible to relocate to the top of another cliff in time to document the event. Nobody consults the photographer about the 'best time of day' to accomplish some tasks!" Site Name: Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge
