| This impressive view of the dam reveals its mass and height. The dam stands 455 feet (140 meters) above the river channel. It extends below the river bottom for another 47 feet (14 meters), where it is anchored in bedrock. One million cubic yards (765,000 cubic meters) of concrete were used to build the dam and powerplant. The project was started in 1958 and completed in 1963. |
