Video: Causeway Closes Ahead Of Storm
[Updated] The Causeway closed at 11.00pm on October 12th, ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Nicole as the island continues to prepare for the storm’s impact.
An Emergency Measures Organisation [EMO] spokesperson previously said, “After careful assessment of the weather conditions, a decision has been made to close the Causeway at 11.00 p.m. Those of you who need to cross the Causeway Bridge are encouraged to do so prior to 11.00 p.m.
“The Causeway will be closed for the duration of Hurricane Nicole. Please allow the appropriate time for personnel to assess the bridge prior to its reopening.”

Update Oct 13, 7.46pm: The EMO said, “The Causeway has sustained some damage and remains closed until the critical assessments by the Ministry of Public Works engineers are carried out. Residents are asked to be patient as these important works are carried out.”
Bermuda lost 4 of it’s people to a terrible hurricane in 2003 and since had 13 years to rebuild a modern causeway/bridge but it has done nothing…NADA!
Hang your head in shame!
The decision to have one lane open on the causeway was a very bad idea.
Don’t no who made that call but to find out that vehicles where driven across it was crazy.
I wonder who would have taken the blame had an incident occured.
The Minister of Mational Secutity should ensure this practice doesn’t continue.
How much money was wasted in this exercise?
