Friday, March 16, 1973. : The current London Bridge, the most recent of many, is opened by Queen Elizabeth II. There have been a number of different London Bridges over the past 2000 years. In 46AD, the Romans built the first bridge across the Thames River; it was a simple wooden construction which was burnt down in 1014. The replacement bridge was destroyed by a storm in 1091, and the next bridge after that was destroyed again by fire in 1136. info from http://today.wmit.net.au
