why, during a snow or other wintery weather, do overpasses and bridges freeze up and become slippery first
In: Chemistry
Cold air is able to flow both above and below the bridge/overpass, creating colder road conditions than that of a regular road.
The ground retains heat/acts as an insulator and will slow down the freezing process. In extremely cold locations, not even that will prevent roads from freezing over.
