Arlington Maps and Orientation

(Arlington, Virginia - VA, USA)



Arlington boasts strong connections to the US capital, Washington D.C., which lies across the Potamac River and is connected by the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge (Teddy Roosevelt Bridge). This busy bridge carries both the US-50 and Interstate I-66, crossing the Potamac River from the easterly Rosslyn area of Arlington and passing by the Theodore Roosevelt Island and its memorial statue.

The George Washington Memorial Parkway is another important local thoroughfare lying on the eastern side of Arlington and edging much of the river, connecting all of the bridges. These include the 14th Street Bridge, the Rochambeau Memorial Bridge, the Arlington Memorial Bridge and Key Bridge. The parkway then heads northwards to the Scotts Run Nature Preserve and the Capital Bellway (Interstate I-495).

The riverside is where many of the principal attractions reside, such as the Potomac Overlook Park and the Fort CF Smith Park. The famous Arlington National Cemetery is also located close to the river, being home to the Tomb of the Unknowns (Tomb of the Unknown Soldier), the President John F. Kennedy Gravesite, the Robert F. Kennedy Gravesite, the Robert E. Lee National Memorial and Arlington House.
