Queen Anne Bridge, Steel road bridge in Anne Arundel County, United States.
Queen Anne Bridge is a steel road bridge that crosses the Patuxent River, linking Anne Arundel County with Prince George's County. The structure uses a truss design to span the waterway between these two regions.
The original bridge was first built at this location in 1755, serving as a river crossing for generations. Over time, the structure was rebuilt multiple times to address wear, damage, and changing transportation needs.
The bridge represents a cornerstone of local transportation infrastructure, connecting communities on both sides of the Patuxent River since the 18th century.
The bridge has been closed to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic since 2007 and cannot be crossed. Visitors can observe the structure from nearby areas, though direct access to the bridge itself is not permitted.
This bridge is the only remaining example of a Pratt truss design with Phoenix sections in Prince George's County. The structure represents a rare construction method from the region's bridge-building history.
