Farthest distance to move a bridge According to Official Guinness Records,
London Bridge, unable to handle increasing volumes of traffic, was auctioned in 1962 to Robert McCulloch (USA) for $2,460,000 (£876,000). It was dismantled and moved brick-by-brick to Lake Havasu City, Arizona (USA) where it was reassembled and opened in 1971. The bridge was moved a total of 8,530 km (5,300 miles). There is an apocryphal story that McCulloch had bought the wrong bridge, and that he thought he was buying Tower Bridge. McCulloch ardently denies the story - the bridge was sold by the City of London because it was unable to cope with the increased traffic flow in the city. McCulloch wanted the bridge to attract tourists to his new development in Lake Havasu City. For a complete list of 1962 records, please visit 1962 Guinness Records in United States .
