Governor's Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Anne Arundel County, United States.
Governor's Bridge spans 117.5 feet across the Patuxent River with a single lane roadway measuring 12 feet in width, connecting Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties.
The current steel bridge, constructed in 1912, stands at a crossing site first established by Governor Samuel Ogle for travel between his mansion and Annapolis.
The bridge represents early 20th-century engineering methods and remains one of two surviving truss bridges in Prince George's County, documented by the Historic American Engineering Record.
Located near Route 50, this bridge provides an alternative route for local traffic between Washington DC and Annapolis, though restrictions apply due to periodic closures.
The structure features a six-panel Pratt truss design with rivet connections, demonstrating technical specifications common to early 1900s steel bridge construction methods.
