Wind Warnings Issued For 3 Maryland Bridges

Drivers were advised to use caution crossing bridges Friday afternoon in Maryland, particularly three of them, due to high winds. The Bay, Hatem and Tydings bridges were under wind warnings for several hours.

The Maryland Transportation Authority reported the wind warnings were in effect after 2 p.m.

Triggered by 30 to 39 mph winds, wind warnings mean drivers of the following vehicles should use extra caution while crossing the bridge: house trailers, box trailers, motorcycles, vehicles with roof-mount racks containing cargo or any other vehicle that may be subject to high winds.

During periods of high winds, drivers are advised to keep both hands on the wheel.

After 8 p.m., the Maryland Transportation Authority reported the warnings had expired at all three bridges.
