The westbound lanes closed around 5 p.m. Thursday because of high winds and storm surge.

The eastbound lanes are still closed at this time. 

Initially, police closed the eastbound lanes of the causeway around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday due to "wind-whipped" waves from the storm crashing onto the road.
