High Wind Advisory Issued for Five Bay Area Bridges

A high wind advisory is in effect this morning for the Bay Bridge, Dumbarton Bridge, San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and Carquinez Bridge, the California Highway Patrol said. 

The advisory was issued just after midnight, but there are no estimates when it will be lifted, CHP Officer Scott Cakebread said.

Drivers should slow down, be careful when traveling across open areas, and avoid overreacting to the sudden gusts, he said.

"High box trucks and big rigs, and virtually anything with a sail, should be particularly concerned," Cakebread said.
