Two tractor trailers overturned on the Tydings Memorial Bridge Friday morning.
The overturned trucks forced the closure of the I-95 bridge, with the Maryland Transportation Authority putting a hold on all traffic because of Friday's high winds.
MDTA also temporarily closed the Hatem Bridge on US 40 because of the wind.

Here is what the wind can do on bridges and overpasses when it comes to high profile vehicles. Please take it easy out there and reduce those speeds. Gusts up to 60 mph. #wind #TrafficAlert #mdwx #CecilCounty #HarfordCounty @ABC2Weather https://t.co/G1Xleh3kyV
