I have been across the Humber Bridge in high winds on a motorbike. Pretty scary. Obviously I was leaning into the wind quite a bit, then I went by one of the bridge supports and even though I was ready for a sudden lack of wind I didn't get my reactions right and nearly swerved into the barrier. By the mid-point of the crossing I was thinking "shit, shit, shit" as I was hanging on for dear life.
So sometimes it may be wise not to ignore the road closure - and I know you were in a tight spot by needing to get to school etc - the other problem is when they also shut Goole bridge on the M62, the last time I got caught in that jam it took about 5 hours to get from Hull to Goole (I was in a lorry so unable to filter) so the diversion may or may not take an hour...
