In May of 1980, the first SUNSHINE SKYWAY Bridge crossing from St. Petersburg to Bradenton crossing above the Tampa Bay ship channel, was slammed by an empty phosphate freighter knocking down the 1261 feet of center span. Thirty-five people were killed in what is now one of the worst bridge disasters in history.
The new SUNSHINE BRIDGE which opened in April of 1987, it is the world's longest span cable-stayed concrete bridge, and has a main span of 1200 ft.(365.7 m) and a vertical clearance of 193 ft (58.8 m).
The new "cable-stay" bridge is a truly beautiful structure. Unlike most "cable-stay" bridges the new bridge uses a single plane of cables and the deck, made of prestressed concrete segments serves as structure as well as being the roadway surface.
Its cables are painted in a unique color a bright taxicab yellow to reflect its location: the Sunshine State.. At night strategically placed lights add an additional touch of beauty.
You now can get the impression of the color of the picture taken at night, while passing along the bridge
