Sunshine Skyway Bridge

2009.07.10










The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a bridge spanning Florida's Tampa Bay, with a cable-stayed main span, and a length of 29,040 feet (exactly 5.5 miles or approximately 8.85 km). The Travel Channel rated the Sunshine Skyway #3 in its special on the "Top 10 Bridges" in the World. The bridge is considered the "flag bridge" of Florida

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge has a colorful history from its heydays as a single two-lane cantilever span in 1954 to the present four-lane cable-stayed span. In triumph and tragedy, the present cable-stayed and the former cantilever spans of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge are an icon of the Tampa Bay area. However, deadly jumps are darker side of the sunshine skyway bridge
