Specifically, the causeways never close for westbound traffic and will remain open, however that does not mean it is safe to cross. Wind speeds can be much faster at the top of the bridge than at ground level. Please use extreme caution if you must leave beachside during a wind event.
Following a storm the causeway may be closed temporarily while officials inspect the roadway to determine it is safe for traffic.
