The Arlington Memorial Bridge is a significant architectural landmark that serves as a ceremonial entrance to Washington, DC, from Virginia. Completed in 1932, it symbolizes the unity of the nation by connecting the Lincoln Memorial with Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, and providing access to Arlington National Cemetery.

Designed by the esteemed firm of McKim Mead and White, the bridge features neoclassical elements and various memorials honoring military personnel and historical figures. Following a comprehensive rehabilitation from 2018 to 2020, the bridge continues to stand as a testament to American valor and sacrifice.
