| London Bridge Beach Park is located directly across the London Bridge (accessible through public parking lot on south side of McCulloch Blvd), along the Bridgewater Channel, this park is a popular place to visit.Reconstructing the Bridge in Lake Havasu City was done in the same manner as the Egyptians built pyramids. Sand mounds beneath each arch were carefully formed to the profile of the original Bridge arches, serving the same function as molds. When work was completed, the sand was removed. A one-mile channel was dredged and water was diverted from the lake, under the Bridge, then back into the lake.The bridge was shipped by boat 10,000 miles to Long Beach, California. From there it was trucked to Lake Havasu City, where it was stored in a seven-acre fenced storage compound. On September 23, 1963, the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Gilbert Inglefiend, laid the corner stone. Robert Beresford drew sketches of the bridge in different phases of construction. There are a limited number of these prints. When Mr. Beresford returned to England, he gave exclusive rights to D & P Antiques in Lake Havasu City to sell these prints.The Bridge was completed and dedicated on October 10, 1971. |
