Английская Википедия:Governor's Bridge (Patuxent River)
Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Infobox bridgeGovernor 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 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.[3] 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] In 2016, Prince George's County announced that the bridge was scheduled to reopen in 2019.[7] In October 2018, the county held a public meeting to describe six different proposals for repairing or replacing the bridge.[8] In September 2019, the county held a public meeting to review feedback on the alternatives.[9] As of March 2020, the Prince George's County Capital Roadway and Bridge Projects web site stated that reconstruction was still in the planning stages.[10]
