Bridge is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in the Hadley–Apennine region.
The name of the crater was formally adopted by the IAU in 1973.[1]
Location
Bridge crater is located within Hadley Rille, also known as the Hadley-Apennine region, and its ejecta indeed forms a bridge of sorts across the rille. It lies at the base of Mons Hadley Delta and is approximately 4 km southwest of the Apollo 15 landing point.
Adjacent craters
The larger St. George crater is to the southeast and the smaller Elbow crater is due east.
