Classic. 95km/h winds and they act like the bridge is gonna fly to Australia. 🤦‍♂️

the person who's never driven a truck in crosswinds.

Might as well just close it now and save everyone the hassle. Fridays are already a nightmare without this bs.

gonna be chaos. I'll just work from home and watch the madness on the news.

Every single time there's a bit of wind they freak out. Just drive slower, it's not hard.

ffs, I've got a trucking run tomorrow. Guess I'll be sitting in traffic for 3 hours.

lol you've clearly never been near a truck in a gale

Eva Anderson2026-06-25T05:32:00.000Z

Does anyone actually believe they'll close it? They always threaten but never do.

Mia Carter2026-06-25T05:40:00.000Z

Just put up barriers and let us go. We're not made of sugar.

Sage Lawson2026-06-25T06:16:00.000Z

nah, they'll close it. Remember that time a truck went over?
