Precisely! The wind blowing over and under the bridge caused a wind chill and can freeze water on the bridge surface when the actual air temp is > 32.
I'd bet if the wind is high enough, and the bridge long enough, it might drop a degree or 2.
Several years back in an E39 M5, I ran into a hail storm in May on a road out in the country. It lasted 10-15 minutes and there was no where I could go. The road became covered with hail marbles, was slick as heck, and the temp display dropped from 70 to 35!!! I got the ding. I finally managed to find an awning and pulled off the road under cover. The lot was so slick, I could barely make it back on the road after it passed. The end result was a $2000 Dent Wizard bill.
NationWide processed several 1000 claims that day!
