I had no idea this was a thing. I'd never heard of it. According to Wikipedia, it's one of the largest draws of tourists in AZ. I've got to think that's a little bit of a statistician's magic to make that the case, but who knows.
Been on and under that bridge many times. Even stayed in the bridge hotel a timer two.
the bridge is CLAD in the original granite stone from London to make it look the same, but it was built from scratch to resemble the original one.
Guy named McCulloch from chainsaw and outboard motor fame did it to draw people to the city he was trying to build and sell.
It worked.
Ya know they built that bridge o n dry land and then dredged out the channel under it afterwards.

Almost got arrested fer driving a small houseboat under that bridge one time, I did not know my friend's stripper girlfriend was on the roof of the boat showing everything to everyone.
but that's a different thread.
