Drivers urged to be cautious as Bay Bridge wind advisory issued

The California Highway Patrol issued a high-wind advisory for the Bay Bridge on Wednesday, officials said.

The wind advisory, which was issued shortly before 10 a.m., is meant to make sure drivers of large trucks are “more cautious during periods of higher wind,” said Officer Daniel Hill, a spokesman with the agency.

Hill said the advisories are routine during the winter months and are normally based on observations made by CHP officers patrolling the bridge.
