Bridges can be built to withstand weather and wear by using durable materials such as reinforced concrete and weather-resistant steel, which enhance structural integrity and longevity. Incorporating design features like proper drainage systems minimizes water accumulation, reducing the risk of corrosion and freeze-thaw damage. Additionally, regular maintenance and inspections help identify and address potential issues before they escalate, ensuring the bridge remains safe and functional over time. Finally, implementing protective coatings and barriers can shield structures from harsh environmental conditions.
The current London Bridge, which was built in 1973, is a vehicle and pedestrian bridge and is there to deal with modern traffic levels which its 1820 predecessor was unable to cope with. The 1820 bridge was dismantled and re-assembled at Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA as a tourist attraction. It is rumoured that the purchaser of the 1820 bridge thought that he was buying the better known Tower Bridge but both he and the vendors have denied this.
