Silver Bridge

The Silver Bridge is an unmarked location in Fallout 76.

Background
The Silver Bridge was built in 1928, spanning the Ohio River and serving as a link between Gallipolis, Ohio and Point Pleasant, West Virginia. It was the first eye-bar suspension bridge in the United States.

On December 15, 1967 during rush hour traffic, the bridge collapsed, resulting in the deaths of 46 people. A year after the catastrophe, Congress adopted the National Bridge Inspection standards to avoid further tragedies. After the war, the Vault Dwellers can find what remains of the bridge, utilized by members of the Cult of the Mothman as an altar.
