}}Governor's Bridge is an historic single-lane bridge over the Patuxent River near Bowie, Maryland. The river marks the boundary between Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties. A bridge has been located on this site since the mid-18th century.[1]

Although a common bridge type, the current Governor's Bridge is one of only two surviving truss bridges in Prince George's County.[1]

History

Three bridges have stood on this site.

The first bridge was constructed by Governor Samuel Ogle to travel between his mansion in Collington and the state capital in Annapolis.[2]

By 1817, the first bridge had been damaged beyond repair or destroyed and a ford was being used to traverse the river at the site.[11] On February 4, 1817, the State of Maryland commissioned Joseph N. Stockett and James Sanders of Anne Arundel County to build a new Governor's Bridge.[3]

Current bridge

The current truss bridge was constructed in 1912.[1]

The bridge was repaired in 2014 after structural deficiencies were discovered during a routine inspection.[4] It was closed in May 2013, underwent major repairs starting in January 2014, and reopened in March 2014.[5]

The bridge closed March 30, 2015, after contractors inspected the bridge and determined it required emergency repairs.[6] It is scheduled to reopen in 2019.[7]
