You're going to have to explain yourself about how and why Tower Bridge is still in London.  |

OK then, I believe that certain officials from the US were extremely embarrassed when they discovered that the "London Bridge" they bought for subsequent erection in the Arizona desert (?) as a tourist attraction was in fact London Bridge and not the "Tower Bridge" they were most certainly expecting.
I have no idea whether this is urban myth or not, but it's a great story...
Have I been set up here?

I think they should be replaced with modern interstate style overpasses ASAP. |

Have I been set up here? | No set up here is Wickepedia's version,
On 18 April 1968, Rennie's bridge was sold to the American entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch of McCulloch Oil for US$2,460,000. A popular urban legend is that he believed mistakenly that he was buying the more impressive Tower Bridge, although McCulloch denied this.[7] As the bridge was disassembled, each piece was numbered to aid reassembly and those markings can still be seen today. The bridge was reconstructed at Lake Havasu City, Arizona and re-dedicated on October 10, 1971. The reconstruction of Rennie's London Bridge spans a man-made canal that leads from Lake Havasu to Thomson Bay, and forms the centrepiece of a theme park in English style, complete with mock-Tudor shopping mall. Rennie's London Bridge has become Arizona's second-biggest tourist attraction, after the Grand Canyon.
