The covered bridge is an unmarked location in Appalachia.
Background[]
The bridge provided vehicle access following along State Route 88 before the Great War. Now a Pick-R-Up truck has fallen through the wooden planks into the river below, its bed still containing goods to sift through.[1]
Layout[]
The bridge is directly next to the Wayward, at the intersection of State Routes 88 and 88A, down the road from the overseer's camp. Next to the truck are two skeletons, one laying on the bridge and one still falling out of the vehicle. A van has crashed into the bridge on the western side.
Appearances[]
The covered bridge appears only in Fallout 76.
Behind the scenes[]
The scene of the wrecked truck at the covered bridge is a reference to the 1988 film Beetlejuice. There is a skeleton wearing a dress next to the truck, another skeleton hanging out of the passenger's side, and a dog's bandana that can be taken behind the truck. In Beetlejuice, the characters Adam and Barbara Maitland die after crashing their car on a covered bridge while swerving to avoid a dog. This reference was added early in development during an art pass by environment artist Megan Sawyer, whose favorite film is Beetlejuice.[2]
