The bridge was bought by Robert McCulloch of McCulloch Chainsaws with his vision of a planned community in the Mojave desert.
All of the bricks were numbered, and they were dismantled and reassembled in a specific order. The bridge was built, not over an actual channel, it was built on a peninsula, and the channel was dug out afterwards.
While he was not the highest bidder on the bridge, the British government appreciated how he calculated his bid by accounting for a value of each brick in relation to the number of people living in England at the time.
The man who designed the roads in Disneyland designed the roads in Lake Havasu City. The only straight road is the highway.
The city did not want to pay for the cost of doves at the opening ceremony. They paid for pigeons that were painted white and they became an invasive species in the city.
It’s where I got all my information from and The Hoff makes a surprisingly good frontman for documentaries - if we ever need to replace David Attenborough…

There’s even a documentary.

Well Lake Havasu was also the setting for Piranha 3D . Could be a fun crossover.
Piranhas vs Jack the Ripper? I’m in!
All narrated by David Attenborough.
Havasu means “air-water” in Turkish. Just thought I’d throw a random wildcard into the mix
