Summary

[edit]
Description

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge carries four lanes of vehicle traffic over the entrance to Tampa Bay in Florida. The north end is in St. Petersburg (Pinellas County), and the south end is in Terra Ceia (Manatee County). The bridge is 5.5 miles (8.8 km) long - or 4 miles (6.4 km) in another source. The main span is 1,200 ft (368 m) long, and has clearance of 193 ft (59 m) over the water. This is a detail view of the previous photo, taken from the southern approach. St. Petersburg is in the background.

The original Sunshine Skyway Bridge was two 2-lane bridges, completed in 1954. A ship ran into one bridge in a storm in 1980, and destroyed the span. This new cable-stayed bridge was built between 1982 and 1987.
