BIG RIG between Bulkhead City and Laughlin

I can't go over Boulder Dam because I have guns on board so can I get across the bridge to Laughlin I'm about 70feet long? Thanks.

The new bridge should be no problem.

We don't have vehicle searches here in the Western United States.
Only checkpoints for produce and other contagens

Weapons are strictly prohibited to cross Boulder Dam. Apparently they are concerned I'm going to jump out of my 44 ft rig and blow a hole in it with a 45cal handgun.😆

You are confused, the route that goes over Hoover Dam is a 4 lane limited access Hwy. Rt.# 93! From Boulder City, Nv. to Kingman, Az. You don't drive over the Dam anymore!

If you are going to Bullhead City, Az. or Laughlin, Nv. you should take Rt. 95 south to Rt. 163 East to Laughlin, Nv. and across the bridge to Bullhead City, Az. and it is also 4 lane all the way!

Laughlin, Nv is about 70 miles south of Hoover Dam as the crow fly's!
Driving miles around 90 to 100 miles!

Hope this helps you understand, I suggest you buy a Truckers Road Atlas!
Rail!

Someone is very confused here. If you just want to get from Bullhead city, AZ to Laughlin, NV, take the bridge that crosses the Colorado river between the 2 locations. If you are trying to get to that area, are you eastbound or westbound? Where are you coming from? From Vegas, 93 east 95 south to 163 east to Laughlin. Off I40 95 north 163 east. From Kingman 93 west toward Vegas to 68 west to Bullhead and Laughlin. And as mentioned you don't cross on the dam anymore, but if you are just trying to get to Laughlin you won't go near the Boulder dam.
