Key Bridge

Arlington Memorial bridge is an unmarked location in Fallout 3.

Layout
The Arlington Memorial bridge is the bridge that crosses the river Potomac north of Jefferson Memorial, from The Citadel in the direction of Washington Monument. It is in a severe state of decay and contains numerous ruined vehicles. On the west side there is a raider encampment with several raiders. Under the bridge on the eastern side there is also a scavenger that you can trade with. On the eastern side there is also a super mutant base near the irradiated Metro.

Notable loot

 * North of the bridge, east end, between the scavenger and raider camp, is a grave with search party log #3 for the Searching for Cheryl unmarked quest.
 * A copy of Duck and Cover! is on the table in the raider camp on the east side of the river.

Appearances
Arlington Memorial bridge appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * On the west side of the bridge, there is a way to get out of the level by jumping on the rocks just left of it, from there you can walk "under" the Capital Wasteland and even get into the Citadel from very early in the game (allowing you to get Power Armor Training before the quest The Waters of Life).
