RETROSPECTIVE OF T.Y. LIN’S WORK


Although, T.Y. Lin himself did not work on the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge, his company T.Y. Lin Associates founded in 1954 and later to become T. Y. Lin International did. T.Y. Lin International led the design of this landmark span which complements one of the foremost engineering wonders of the world—the Hoover Dam. Part of the four-lane Hoover Dam Bypass Project, the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge or Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge is the highest and longest single span concrete arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere.


The Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge is a unique concrete-steel hybrid – the fi rst of its kind in the U.S. The bridge is the longest concrete arch span in North America with a 1060-ft main span. The twin-ribbed arch supports the tallest precast, segmental concrete columns in the world.
