... the lights on the bridge weren't (for the most part) moving. It was a construction zone.
Dunno if this has been reported here, but tonight on the news they said there was some kind of alert sent out by the ship that let the police know the ship had lost control.

It gave enough time for them to get in position to prevent any more vehicles from coming onto the bridge... and there was enough time for those on the bridge to get off. Supposedly, the work crew were the only ones left when it went down.

This video shows a good many vehicles were crossing right up until a very short time before the impact. Start watching about 56 seconds in... it's sped up, but you get the idea...
