Throwback Thursday at Reclamation continues today’s tour of the Glen Canyon Dam's construction site in 1962, with this photo showing workers pouring concrete, and nearing the 4,000,000 cubic yards mark.

Throwback Thursday is back! Today’s historic #photo comes from the Upper Colorado region’s Glen Canyon Dam during its construction in 1961.
The authorization of the Colorado River Storage Project Act by Congress on April 11, 1956 initiated the construction of Glen Canyon Dam, the key unit of one of the most extensive and complex river resource developments in the world. The first dynamite blast in Glen Canyon occurred on October 15, 1956 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower p...ressed a telegraph key from Washington D.C. to set off the explosion signaling the beginning of construction.
Once completed, Glen Canyon Dam would provide vital water storage that would allow the Upper Colorado River Basin states of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico to utilize their share of the Colorado River, especially during times of drought, while providing the required delivery of water to the Lower Basin states of California, Nevada, and Arizona.
