The Arlington Memorial Bridge is a significant symbol of unity and national strength, connecting the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., with Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Designed by the architectural firm McKim Mead and White, the bridge features neoclassical elements and commemorates the sacrifices of military personnel throughout American history.

Completed in 1932, the bridge underwent a comprehensive rehabilitation from 2018 to 2020, enhancing its importance as a ceremonial entrance to the capital while preserving its historical characteristics. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks or bicycle rides along the bridge and its avenues, which are lined with various memorials honoring notable figures and events.
