London Bridge is falling down.... or is it!

The London Bridge is doing well and fine in Lake Havasu City, AZ. I hope so anyways because we have driven over it 4 times. Going over it to the west takes you to an island so one has to eventually come back or stay on the island. The Colorado River is diverted at the north and flows through the man made channel, merging with the river to the south. The channel was created after the bridge was erected. "On 18 April 1968, Rennie's bridge was sold to the Missourian entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch of McCulloch Oil for $2,460,000. It cost another $4,500,000 to transport in to the current location and then erect it."
