I keep seeing comments that no relative position was given but ATC does provide detail in their initial communications, though not subsequent.

> Traffic just south of the Woodrow Bridge, a CRJ, it's 1,200 feet setting up for Runway 33.

Where is the Woodrow bridge? Are all pilots expected to know this flying around the Reagan airport? There are multiple bridges on the Potomac.

The helicopter crew resided in this area and this is one of the largest, widest, most-used bridges in the area.
