Sunshine Skyway Bridge

The Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge, often simply called the ‘Skyway,’ is a cable-stayed concrete bridge that spans Lower Tampa Bay, linking St. Petersburg and Bradenton. Completed in 1987, it was once the world’s longest bridge of its kind. The bridge’s most striking feature is its 21 bright yellow cables, designed to evoke the rays of the sun. Today, visitors can drive across this impressive structure, taking in the expansive views of the bay and the vibrant, sun-inspired design that has become a symbol of the region.
