The London Bridge that once spanned the River Thames in London, England, was dismantled, shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and reassembled over the Colorado River.
The relocation of the London Bridge was part of McCulloch's plan to create a tourist attraction and develop the area around Lake Havasu. The bridge was reconstructed in Lake Havasu City and officially dedicated on October 10, 1971. It now spans a canal that connects Lake Havasu to Thompson Bay.
The London Bridge in Arizona is a popular tourist attraction and a unique piece of history. Visitors can walk across the bridge, which is surrounded by an English-style village with shops, restaurants, and other attractions. The scenic setting of Lake Havasu and the bridge's connection to British history make it an interesting and unexpected landmark in the Arizona desert.
