15 American Bridges Worthy of Your Driving Bucket List
London Bridge is simultaneously one of the most impressive and most confusing bridges anywhere in the world. Here’s the deal: the London Bridge from the nursery rhyme, located on the River Thames, fell down (obviously). In 1831, a new London Bridge was built to replace it. Then, 130 years later, it was bought by an American oil tycoon, dismantled brick-by-brick, and relocated to Lake Havasu… thereby lending its historical presence to spring brake revelers.

“A bridge is a poem stretched across a river, a symphony of stone and steel.” —David B. Steinman, world-renowned bridge builder-slash-poet
These 15 bridges are just a few of the very finest that America has to offer. Rising above valleys and rivers, they are all towering examples of man’s ability to overcome nature’s obstacles. You’ve undoubtedly heard of most of them, but consider the sheer amount of human willpower that went into building them and the historical impact they’ve had, and you’ll see why driving over each and every one, at some point in your life, deserves a spot on your bucket list.
