Bolded section for emphasis. Having a 4wd truck or winter tires won't help you on an icy bridge. Especially since you also state you were merging onto an expressway, which would lead me to believe you were accelerating at the time. If it's cold enough for ice to form, never presume/assume that the roads are clear especially when going over a bridge.
