Warning: Winter Conditions and Increased Risk of Icing
Due to snowfall and low temperatures, we inform drivers that the bridge structure and its approaches are currently undergoing cleaning and treatment with anti-icing materials. Please note that because of exposure to wind, bridges are among the first locations where “black ice” (a thin, invisible layer of ice) can form, creating an increased risk of skidding.

Our recommendations:
Reduce your speed: The road surface may be slippery even if it appears wet.
Avoid sudden maneuvers: Do not brake or accelerate abruptly, especially on the bridge.
Increase following distance: Braking distances on ice are significantly longer.
Be aware of the surroundings: Winter maintenance vehicles and crews may be present.
