## 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.
