The original bridge from England was purchased by the founder of Lake Havasu City and reconstructed at Lake Havasu in 1971.

Those granite blocks have an amazing story to tell! The tour boat operators provide great information as to why, how and when the bridge came to Lake Havasu, and the museum's display rounds out the story. The visitor's center also has great information too. The excellent walking paths along the channel offer great views from both sides, and of course you can walk and drive over it too. To say Mr. McCullough and his team had a great idea would be an understatement. The only downside in the area is that the shops in the English Village are suffering economic woes and need some sprucing up.

The Historic Navajo Bridge over the Colorado River at Marble Canyon is now a pedestrian bridge, where you can walk across this engineering feat and look at the river down below in Marble Canyon. Absolutely beautiful!

I liked the Historic Gillespie Dam Bridge Interpretive Plaza. We went walking first and then we went by car. It was fabulous. Then we went down to the Historic Gillespie Dam Bridge we saw it perfectly. There were a bodies of water nearby. We had fun and enjoyed this attraction. By the way it is historic.

Rattlesnake Bridge in Tucson, Arizona, is such a unique or one-of-a-kind (even weird) attraction that you have to stop for a few minutes to experience it. First, you have to find it. From Broadway Boulevard, turn south onto Euclid Avenue, then turn right onto East McKay Street. Park in the lot and walk over the bridge. But it's no ordinary bridge. Designed by Tucson artist Simon Donovan in 1997, the bridge was completed in 2002. It has won several design awards. It is a 280-foot-long pedestrian bridge over Broadway Boulevard that can be negotiated by walking or bicycling. Ever walk through the innards of a snake? Originally, the snake's eyes lit up at one end and the tail made a rattling sound. But the eyes no longer glow and the tail silent because the Tucson Department of Transportation had its funds for art maintenance eliminated. Just the same, the bridge is a one-of-a-kind architectural landmark and the property includes a park and playground for children.
