London Bridge in Lake Havasu

 

London Bridge is a bridge in Lake Havasu City,  that is the reconstruction of the 1831 bridge that spanned the River Thames in London, England until it was dismantled in 1967. The Arizona bridge is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge, that was bought by Robert P. McCulloch from the City of London,


McCulloch had exterior granite blocks from the original bridge numbered and transported to America, to construct the present bridge in Lake Havasu City, a planned community he established in 1964 on the shore of Lake Havasu.
The bridge was completed in 1971 (along with a canal), and links an island in the lake with the main part of Lake Havasu City.



 A myriad of shops are found beneath the bridge along the canal, all English imports.

 This was an amazing undertaking!
