View looking easterly towards the Theodore Lake Bridge that carries Highway 188 high overtop of Roosevelt Lake. This high level bridge was completed in the 1990s. Prior to the construction of the high level bridge, Highway 188 crossed the mouth of the Salt River via Theodore Roosevelt Dam. The bridge was constructed as part of an expansion project which saw the high of the original Theodore Roosevelt Dam raised 23m (77feet). |
