BOULDER CITY — The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is reopening Hoover Dam to the public Tuesday, seven months after it closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Federal officials said visitors will be able to access all open areas and visit the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge plaza and walkway.
The visitor center will remain closed with no tours or exhibits available.
Visitors to the dam at the Nevada-Arizona border are being asked to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines when it comes to preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
