No I wasn't on cruise, and I was very close to the speed limit.
It was early so Deer were a concern and there were dense fog patches so I wasn't using cruise just in case I had to slow down suddenly.
The one thing that may have contributed was, I was wearing sun glasses because I was driving into the rising sun and with the glasses I could see better.
But they would also have cut any glare that may have been caused by ice thus, very likely making it next to impossible to see any ice.
Even then I may have detected the ice had I been watching for it, but ice was the last thing I expected that morning. After all, it was only a degree or two below freezing and the pavement was partially dry.
It had rained the previous evening but it that was hours before, and the road was close to dry. But that one bridge was not.
