Correct Answer
A. BridgesExplanation
Bridges freeze first when wet because they are exposed to the cold air from both above and below, causing them to cool down more quickly than other roadways. The cold air circulating around and underneath the bridge causes the moisture on the surface to freeze faster, making it more slippery and dangerous for drivers. Intersections and tunnels are not as exposed to the cold air, so they do not freeze as quickly as bridges.Rate this question:
