The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a cable stayed design built with steel and concrete that spans over Tampa Bay Florida it connects St. Petersburg, Pinellas Conty to Terra Ceia in Manatee County and passing though Hillsborough County waters.

Construction started in 1982 to replace the old Sunshine Skyway also shown here after the freighter accident in 1980 killing 35 people.

The new bridge opened in February 1987 just months before this shot which shows it under final phase of construction.

The old bridge was demolished in 1991.
