A girl in Yogo was blown off the Mackinaw Bridge in the late 80s.
I was finishing my degree at Tech and crossed that freak about 10 times a year.
When the high wind alert is up, it redefines white knuckling.
I remember that, thought it was early 80s but no matter. I don’t like that bridge, not sure why. Maybe the height above the cold, dark water below. Or ice.
Keep in mind the Yugo girl was doing normal double the speed limit and the car took flight and sailed over the guardrail.
Want to have fun, drive a bus across the Mackinac bridge. You actually had to steer slightly into the wind and straighten out when you got to the tower.
The hub of the wheels were higher than the guardrail
In Maryland, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge can actually be shut down if the winds get high enough, or the speed limit can be lowered to 40.
I actually drove onto it eastbound in a heavy thunderstorm, once, but ended up sitting at the top inside the “steel tunnel” for an hour or so because a truck near the other end got blown onto its side.
