Why Do Bridges Freeze First? No ground underneath means the entire structure can be surrounded by cold air. Freezing isn't uniform, shaded parts can be icy while sunny parts aren't. Slow down before the bridge, as changing speed on ice is dangerous.
You’ve probably seen road signs advising that bridges freeze🧊 before roads, but do you know why? Having open air💨 underneath the bridge🌉 means the cold air surrounds the bridge both above and below. 🔗 weather.gov/safety/winter #WeatherReady #mdroads #mdtraffic #mdcommuters
