Crossing the New River Gorge Bridge in Fallout 76
With the scaffolding beneath your feet, progress towards a juncture where you can continue through the scaffolding or ascend to the bridge's apex. Atop the bridge, face Bloodbug foes and discover items atop cars, such as Wonderglue, Squirrel on a Stick, and more.

- Navigate to the rear near the white rollercoaster within.
- Ascend the wooden stairs and follow the roller coaster tracks.
- Locate a red train at the tracks' end with a backpack at its forefront, housing the key.
- Upon entering the bridge room, discover an array of materials including Caps, wrenches, scissors, a Golf Club Plan, and a full set of Power Armor.
Exiting through another side fence at the scaffolding's terminus signifies your successful traverse to the opposite side. Explore nearby attractions like Cow Spots Creamery, Camp Adams, Ohio River Adventures, and more awaiting your discovery.
