Sunshine Skyway Bridge - St Petersburg, FL
Aerial of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, shot by Tampa Photographer The Skyway Bridge connects St Petersburg and Pinellas County to Manatee County Florida. The bridge began construction in 1982, after the original bridge was destroyed on May 9th, 1980 at 7:33am when the freighter Summit Venture crashed into it. 35 people people as the Summit Venture knocked out a section of bridge. 6 cars and a Greyhound Bus, unaware the broken section of bridge due to the fog, plunged to the ocean. Amazingly one man survived the 150ft fall in his car. The new bridge bridge opened on April 20th, 1987. Parts of the old bridge are now used as the North Skyway and South Skyway fishing piers.

Sunshine Skyway Bridge debuts colorful new LED lights
The promise of a colorfully-lit Sunshine Skyway Bridge became a reality this week, much to the delight of photographers, boaters, and drivers around the Bay Area.
The Florida Department of Transportation installed color-change LED lights on 1.7 miles of Tampa Bay's iconic bridge.
A total of 1,824 high-efficiency fixtures now illuminate the main span of the bridge, as well as the columns underneath, fading down to the waterline.

Driving Over The 430 FEET TALL Skyway Bridge!
The Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge, known to locals as the Sunshine Skyway Bridge or more casually the Skyway, is a bridge spanning Tampa Bay, Florida, with a cable-stayed main span, and a total length of 21,877 feet (4.1434 mi; 6.668 km). It is part of Interstate 275 (I-275) and U.S. Route 19 (US 19), connecting St. Petersburg in Pinellas County and Terra Ceia in Manatee County, Florida, passing through the waters of Pinellas County, Hillsborough County and Manatee County, Florida. Construction of the current bridge began in 1982, and the completed bridge was dedicated on February 7, 1987. The new bridge cost $244 million to build, and was opened to traffic on April 20, 1987. It replaced an older bridge constructed in 1954, which was partly destroyed in a collision in 1980.
It is constructed of steel and concrete. Steel cables clad in 84 9-inch (230 mm) steel tubes (42 per pylon) along the center line of the bridge support the main span. It was designed by the Figg & Muller Engineering Group (who also designed the popular Seven Mile Bridge), and built by the American Bridge Company.
In 2005, an act of the Florida Legislature officially named the current bridge the Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge, after the former Governor of Florida and then U.S. Senator who presided over its design and most of its construction. According to sources, he was inspired to suggest the current design by a visit to France, where he saw a similar cable-stayed bridge, the Brotonne Bridge. The original bridge was dedicated to state engineer William E. Dean, as noted on a plaque displayed at the rest area at the south end of the bridge.
The Travel Channel rated the Sunshine Skyway number 3 in its special on the Top 10 Bridges in the World. The bridge is considered the flag bridge of Florida.
Because of its 430 Foot Architectural height, (base of road clearance 193 FT) above the emerald-green Gulf waters, length of continuous travel, location in a warm-weather state, and modern architectural design, it is a popular spot for filming automobile commercials.
A major problem with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is corrosion of the steel in the precast concrete segmental columns on the high level approaches. Because the segments are hollow, workers were able to enter the bridge superstructure in 2003 and 2004 to reinforce the corroded sections of the bridge, ensuring its future safety. Another problem arose around 2005–06 when several news bureaus reported paint discolorations on the bridge's cables. These paint splotches and patches were a result of touch-ups that were performed over the years but began to show through over recent years. In 2008, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) began an overhaul including repainting the cables in their entirety (instead of touching up) and rehabilitating the lighting system at the summit of the bridge.
A 2014 FDOT study noted that the Skyway's low bridge clearance prevented larger vessels from using the Port Tampa Bay terminals, but made no recommendation about options as the air draft of most new cruise ships exceeds the bridge's height limit at 180 feet (55 m).

Tampa Airport to St. Petersburg, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge
If you're driving from the Tampa Airport to St. Petersburg, Florida, this is what the drive will look like. I made this drive from Tampa Airport to St. Petersburg in September 2018, while testing out some new roof mounting hardware for my cameras.
After driving from Tampa Airport to St. Petersburg, this drive continues around downtown St. Petersburg (including a drive over Thrill Hill on 3rd Street South -- Thrill Hill is a humped bridge that can be quite fun, as well as damaging to your car's suspension!). After Thrill Hill, I got back on Interstate 275 and continued south, for the drive on to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. The drive over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge near St. Petersburg, Florida takes you up to a beautiful viewpoint of the entrance to Tampa Bay. The drive ends just beyond the southern end of the bridge, near the southern terminus of US Highway 19.

Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera mounted on my roof with a homemade mounting system and weatherproof case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

Skyway Fishing Pier Grouper Secret - Top Tip ????
Here is a fine Skyway fishing pier grouper secret or a top fishing tip. I have showed you how to find the rock piles, the Deeper Sonar allows you to obtain the details. Why I like using the Deeper: You can pinpoint fish, structure new piles that might skirt the outside of your regular piles that don't get pressured as much. Not only that you have less line and leader to get hung up on. Free lining allows you to cover the most water while being extremely effective. If you enjoyed today's Skyway tackle tip, be sure to like, share and subscribe.

Driving Over Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg Florida GoPro Hero4
This is a video I made of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge From St. Petersburg Florida north.
Archived WTVT coverage: Sunshine Skyway Bridge tragedy
The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is an icon of the Tampa Bay area, but many new arrivals to Florida may be unaware of the tragedy that befell the span's predecessor.
It was on May 9, 1980 when the unthinkable happened: the freighter MV Summit Venture collided with a support column during a blinding thunderstorm, knocking a 1,200-foot section of the roadway into the water below.
Six cars, a truck, and a bus plunged 150 feet into Tampa Bay, killing 35 people.
After the replacement span was built, the original bridge's approaches were turned into fishing piers.
WTVT's crews covered the tragedy for hours, both from the land and from the water -- a rare event in the days limited technology.
This video is some of our only surviving footage of the disaster.
