I'm amazed that bridge wasn't closed to traffic given the forecast. They
even measure wind speed and direction on it.

Or at least closed to high sided vehicles.
The bridge looked very exposed to me and nobody can claim they
weren't warned unless they thought it was another false alarm.....

Yes it should have been closed to high sided vehicles. I've known them
(whoever "they" are) close it at much lower speeds than that. I go over it
many times in the summer on the way to my caravan in Co.Donegal. It even
has an anemometer on its top.
