The 1831 John Rennie designed bridge was bought and shipped to Arizona it replaced an older bridge (600 years old). The current London Bridge which dates from 1973 is still located in London at the same site where a bridge has stood for 2,000 years.
The reconstruction of Rennie's Bridge at Lake Havasu began in 1968 and was completed in 1971.
Because the original bridge was the ONLY bridge in London at that time.
Tower Bridge and London Bridge.
Tower Bridge is east of London Bridge.
The London Bridge which was sold, was originally built in 1820 and was no longer capable of dealing with modern traffic. It was bought by an entrepreneur, dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City Arizona as a tourist attraction. It is rumoured that the purchaser thought that he was buying the nearby Tower Bridge - which is much more interesting - but both the buyer and seller have denied this. Many foreigners mistakenly believe that the iconic Tower Bridge is London Bridge but London Bridge is just a very boring modern bridge.
