Arizona Glen Canyon Dam bridge from visitor center 4K. Glen Canyon Dam Bridge is a steel arch bridge in northern Arizona carrying U.S. Route 89 across the Colorado River. Carrying two lanes the bridge rises over 700 feet (210 m) above the river and was the highest arch bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1959. Glen Canyon Dam is a concrete arch dam on the Colorado River. Its reservoir is called Lake Powell and is the second largest artificial lake in the country. Two spillways and four high pressure outlet works protect the dam against floods. The power plant at Glen Canyon Dam is located at the foot of the structure and contains eight 155 500 horsepower generators. Lake Powell is one of the most popular houseboating and water-skiing areas in the United States. Available HD UHD 4K video. Don Despain of Rekindle Photo. 047
