The Bayonne Bridge was shut down in both directions Thursday afternoon, making for a worse commute for those driving in the snow, sleet and rain.
The bridge was shutdown by Port Authority due to slippery conditions and several cars becoming stuck on the incline of the renovated bridge, which is steeper than it used to be, spokesman Joe Pentangelo said.

Caused by global warming of course. Also, Trump has caused more Gorebull warming with his Tweeting.

New Jersey - Nov 15 - Apr 1
“....some engineering genius there”
No monopoly on them, Oregon has some winners too:(
“I was wondering when we’d see the results of Affirmative Action engineering degrees.”
You are close to 3 decades late with your astute observation/question.
2+ decades ago a certified engineer and licensed construction project manager was told by one of the oldest engineering companies to introduce a secretary as a new project manager.
He refused to do so and left the company, when his wife was in the third trimester of their first pregnancy.
Then, he left his next company, when they decided to really capture any major construction project paid for by the state, a county or a city. That company went belly up in 2 years due to late payments and layers of pc bs with so called State/County/city Engineers.
Sounds fairly sensible, though due to Climate Change they should apparently go to a Nov 1 start...
1950 - The Great Appalachian Storm - November 24 - Nov. 30.
This was a large cyclone, which brought the eastern United States to a standstill.
Significant winds, heavy rains, blizzard conditions and hurricane-force winds killed 353 and injured 160. The cyclone impacted 22 states, disrupted power to 1,000,000 customers and created $66.7 million in damage. In 2016, damage costs would be equivalent to $668 million.
Snowfall of 57 inches was measured in West Virginia. New Hampshire recorded a winds at 160 mph at Mount Washington. Nearly the entire state of Ohio was blanketed with 10 inches of snow, with the highest report of 44 inches.
This cyclone rapidly strengthened as it moved up the eastern side of the Appalachians. Coastal flooding occurred from New Jersey northward.
It initially formed in southeastern North Carolina on the morning of Nov. 24 and dissipated Nov. 30.
1971 - Snowfall blankets northeastern U.S. - November 24–25
The same coastal storm that brought over an inch of rain and peak wind gusts to 63 mph in New York City unleashed more than 2 feet of snow to parts of northeastern Pennsylvania.
Snowfall began the night before Thanksgiving. By about noon on Thanksgiving Day, more than 2 feet of snow was reported on the ground in parts of northeastern Pennsylvania. Some of the surrounding areas had upwards of 30 inches.
“Roads weren’t plowed until the next afternoon. Everyone had to get around on snowmobiles,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Dave Dombek said.
This was an extremely wet, heavy snow, as temperatures through much of the storm never got below 31 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowfall caused barn roofs to collapse, downed power lines and broke tree branches.
“The most amazing thing about that storm was that most of the snow fell within 12 hours. There were times when it was snowing at the rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour,” Dombek said.
In Fort Worth, they redid the highway where 121 WB goes under I35W into downtown. It has to rise to go over some RR tracks. I worked downtown at the time and vividly remember the first good icing.
Cars were stacked up and some sliding backwards. Luckily, I saw it in time to take I35 South and come into town on 4th.
All they had to do was not stop and they could have made it up that incline. The first driver to hit his brakes screwed himself and everyone behind him.
Shutdown - noun.
Shut down - verb.
They must have hired the traffic “engineer” that designed the new traffic patterns on the 74 here in the Charlotte, NC area
school in JC :)
It's common in a lot of places near Great Lakes, the East, and New England in heavy traffic areas. Lots of salt under the Great Lakes area. Lots of snow in parts of those states.

That Japanese bridge looks like the famous steep street in San Francisco. Wow!
Try a quick stop on studded tires on dry pavement, at 30-35mph. It’s like sliding on ice if you’re on concrete, plus the studs get ripped right out of tires if you’re on macadam.
Just another reason why I left NE for TX.
Braking is only for emergencies. [if one is truly interested in fuel economy.]
My studded tires seem to have the studs wear well with the tread and I have never experienced what you describe.
Specific conditions vary.
That event makes me drive slower across the Big Mac.
