Portland, OR – As temperatures drop, motorists are urged to use caution on bridges, which may freeze faster than roads and create hazardous driving conditions.

According to the National Weather Service Portland, bridges freeze quickly because they lack ground insulation, allowing cold air to surround the structure. Shaded areas may also retain ice longer than sunny spots, increasing the risk of sudden slick patches. Drivers should slow down before crossing bridges and remain alert for changing road conditions.

Officials advise extra caution, especially during early morning and overnight hours.
