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. Although a common bridge type, Governor's Bridge is one of only two surviving truss bridges in Prince George's County. A bridge has been located on this site since the mid-18th century although the current bridge is was constructed in 1912.〔 The first bridge was constructed by Governor Samuel Ogle to travel between his mansion in Collington and the state capital in Annapolis.〔 〕 The bridge was repaired in 2014 after structural deficiencies were discovered during a routine inspection. It was closed in May 2013, underwent major repairs starting in January 2014, and reopened in March 2014. The bridge closed again March 30, 2015, after contractors inspected the bridge and determined it required emergency repairs. The bridge is also closed intermittently because of high water, as the Patuxent River is prone to flooding.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Governor Bridge Natural Area & Canoe Launch )〕 ==In fiction== It was the setting for ''The Ghost of Governor's Bridge'', a 2010 work of fiction by Skip Stover.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Ghost of Governor's Bridge by Skip Stover )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Governor's Bridge (Patuxent River)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
