The London Bridge which was constructed in 1820, was dismantled in 1973 and reassembled at Lake Havasu City, Arizona as a tourist attraction as it was no longer capable of dealing with modern traffic. It is a very ordinary bridge and it is hard to understand why people would want to go and see it. You may be thinking about Tower Bridge which is very different.

It is built of 11000 tons of steel, Cornish granite and Portland stone.
