Place to see: London Bridge, Lake Havasu City, Arizona, United States

About this place:

The London Bridge of 1831 was transported, stone by stone, to Lake Havasu in Arizona. Robert McCulloch, Founder of Lake Havasu City, Arizona submitted the winning bid of $2,460,000 to buy the bridge for his town.

The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was numbered. Everything was shipped 10,000 miles to Long Beach, California, and then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Reconstruction began on September 23, 1968, with a ceremony including the Lord Mayor of London, who laid the cornerstone. On October 10, 1971, the bridge was dedicated.
