Most likely a variety of reasons. A lot of these bridges are open deck, the roadways are actually steel grids. Winds can get pretty hairy.
Your generally looking at a 3-5 mile ride with a couple hundred feet of elevation change.
In general it's not the place to play share the road.

On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
