    Beautiful bridge and it's nice to walk or run on. Has a beautiful view of Arlington National Cemetery on one end and the Lincoln Memorial on the other. Also has a beautiful view of the Washington monument it an excellent area to see Fire Works. You will also see this area in several movies from time to time. With the Air Port close by you can watch the Jets take of and land from here .

    Absolutely beautiful! A great drive, even better, so to catch the sunset! There is parking available throughout the area. A lot to see in this area. Perfect for a bike ride, a run out a stroll.

    🌉🏛🪦🏞A nice, pleasant walk from D.C. into Virginia. At one side of the bridge is the Lincoln Memorial and at the other side is the Arlington National Cemetery.

    Watching the sunset on the bridge was beautiful.. now add in the sight of planes flying low over your head to land, makes it all more exciting.

    A beautiful sight that I visited by foot. If you are taking the metro, you could take an early morning stroll from Arlington cemetery station to the bridge. Remember to bring along your windbreaker too! 😄 Lovely scenery and sculptures that surround the bridge. Across the bridge are most of the must see sights of Washington DC.

    If you've never been, please visit. This place is the hallowed grounds for many people who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms! We were able to see the changing of the gaurd for the tomb of the unknown soldier which was amazing to see. Would definitely come back to pay my respects to all again. We walked 1hr + to get here which is less than the sacrifices these people made. Can't express my respect for all here.

    Beautiful and clean bridge. Wide areas on each side of car lanes for walking, biking, scootering, etc. We rode bikes across it and was great. Amazing views in both directions.

    You get wonderful views of DC and the surrounding area, and if you're lucky some army helicopters will fly right over you. Easy access to the National Mall and important landmarks. 5/5

    This place is the most romantic and beautiful especially during the sunset. I have a lot of experience of taking a pictures in different kind of locations and this one, believe me, really special one. I definitely highly recommend this place. :)

    I'm giving this bridge a measly two stars because it's not well though out. People might be like,"What are you talking about it?" Yeah, it's great for cars but terrible for pedestrians. Ever try to walk o to this bridge? You need to cross four lanes of traffic to get to the span. And whatever side you come onto bridge, you're confronted by another four lanes as you try to leave the span. Its just dangerous for walkers. That's sad because it is the best span to walk across the Potomac.

    Great spot to take a walk, you can barely see the DC trains going to the pentagon from the bridge, when I walked by I was able to see a train heading towards the Pentagon and a military helicopter.

    Great place to visit and reflection of our country and the leaders who served to give us freedom.
