Explanation:
Maynard Gate Bridge - there is a Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.It crosses either a river, estuary or harbour. I guess Maynard Gate Bridge is in the USA. Try Google? The English-mono Kudoz community?

driving authors off it means either driving them off (over the edge) in a car (somehow) or driving them off (over the edge) by intimidating them and making them jump, for example.

drive = 开(车) or 干
