Why would somebody move a bridge across thousands of miles instead of reconstructing it in place? Weird

London Bridge - All questions

Address: 1340 McCulloch Blvd, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403, USA

There is great history here! The man was brilliant. Lake Havasu was a planned community that he started. The bridge in London was bombed. He bought the bridge, had the outer bridge blocks numbered and shipped over. Meanwhile he sold the interior parts of the bridge stone for way away more money than he bought the bridge for and used that cash to help fund the building of the city. Now the bridge is the 2nd most visited attraction in the state continuously bringing in revenue to date. You should read about it.

London needed a new bridge, selling the old one to a Yankee saved them part of the cost of the new one. Just good business really.
