You got up on it and then got stuck? Honest question, did anyone just get out and walk away?

I got extremely lucky and crossed it about 230 Monday afternoon.

Was heading to work around 415 and rolled up on the I-10 bridge probably about 10-15 minutes before that guy jumped to his death and they shut the bridge down for that.

Had to exit, go under the bridge on the turnaround and head to 210. About 20 minutes after that, that’s when all the trucks started to slide up and down 210.

I missed both of these by a hair.

There were a few.

One person went down and came back carrying gas. A family group with kids went down and then a couple more. The footing was treacherous. People were barely able to walk it. The woman behind me in a jeep eventually got out and had to sqaut an pee.

When we finally got moving there were 3 or 4 abandoned vehicles to navigate around as you creeped to the top and over. When we eventually got to the top the line stopped again for a while. The wind was howling and the bridge was moving.
