Hoover Dam tours suspended
Tours inside Hoover Dam have been suspended through the weekend while repairs are made to the elevator that carries visitors down into the structure. Visitors will still have access to the visitor center and the top of the dam.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the dam, a routine inspection revealed the need to replace the governor cable that monitors and controls the elevator's speed.
The repairs are expected to be completed in time for the tours to resume as usual at 9 a.m. Monday.
