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..... Although I can also imagine that hauliers don't want to keep their trucks off the road at every warning of high winds and there must be considerable pressure on the drivers.

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. -- Mike 55.13°N 6.69°W Coleraine posted to uk.sci.weather 11/01/2005 19:19:41 UTC |
