Walking across Hoover Dam by-pass 1. Re: Walking across Hoover Dam by-pass. May 15, 2012, 1:05 PM. Its very easy to get to. Exit the highway and drive like you are going down to tour the dam. Just after the security checkpoint is the parking lot for the bridge. It will be on your right, and parking is free as is the walk over the bridge.
