S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Zone of the Chernobyl

The bridge in the Dark Valley is a decaying, industrial-style overpass that crosses a shallow, murky stream cutting through the landscape. It’s built from heavy concrete and rusting steel beams, supported by wide, thick pillars stained with moss and grime. The surface is cracked and uneven, with chunks of asphalt missing and rebar jutting out in places. A set of rusted metal railings runs along both sides of the bridge, though many sections are bent or broken off completely. Faded hazard stripes are barely visible on the edges. Vegetation — tall grass, thorny bushes, and creeping vines — has started to overgrow parts of the lower structure and the embankments on either side. To one side of the bridge is a watchtower or scaffold, partially collapsed, with sandbags and old crates scattered nearby. It's a common vantage point for bandits, making the area dangerous. Burn marks and bullet holes across the concrete suggest recent firefights.
