The Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge


The Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a bridge spanning Tampa Bay, Florida connecting St. Petersburg in Pinellas County and Terra Ceira in Manatee County. Construction of this bridge began in 1982 and opened to traffic in April of 1987. It replaced an older bridge that was partly destroyed in a collision of a freighter (MV Summit Adventure) and a pier support column during a storm in 1980.

  2. Might have been some pork from the Senator from Fla. I'm sure it was needed, though.
