Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

We are getting ready to leave Florida and head to Las Vegas.  Our plan is to take the southern route across the country to hopefully avoid snowy roads.   A question of uncertainty is our approach to Las Vegas from the east.  I have read that the new Hoover Dam bypass opened in October.  We are considering making this our route into Las Vegas from the east.  The old road was narrow and rife with traffic problems.

Has anyone driven across the new bridge?  How was the road on either side?  Any suggestions from an alternate approach?

Thanks!

The new bridge is quite easy and the road is better than before with many sections now four lane. We took it in November with some sections still under construction, but it was still a good route. Nothing has changed closer to Henderson and Las Vegas, you still slow down and deal with city traffic on a two lane road.

Thanks Bill, this is indeed good news. It is nice to have confirmation of what the official websites has posted. We will use the new route, but not sure there is much one can do about the chaos of the Las Vegas area traffic.

Hi, Drove over that route last week and back again,for the first time since it opened. All evidence of the construction is gone,and the approach immediately before the bridge on the AZ side is vastly improved from the Old. The Nevada side, while bypassing the old Dam area,still dumps you out in Boulder City,with the traffic lights,etc. Not perfect,but a lot better.
