Sunshine Skyway Bridge over the Tampa Bay in Florida (United States)

Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Won't let you go
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together from the buildings ledge
Never looking back at what
We've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue

 Skyway Avenue lyrics

Song by We the Kings, about this bridge

Sunshine Skyway Bridge over the Tampa Bay between Saint Petersburg and Bradenton, Florida (United States)

"Mayday! Mayday! Vessel has just hit the Skyway bridge! The Skyway bridge is down! Get all emergency equipment out to the Skyway bridge! The Skyway bridge is down! This is Mayday! Emergency situation! Stop the traffic on that Skyway bridge!"

John Lerro, pilot of the freight that run 

into old Skyway Bridge, collapsing it

Sunshine Skyway Bridge over the Tampa Bay between Saint Petersburg and Bradenton, Florida (United States)

A few years after the bridge was opened, a woman jumped into the murky depths of the bay below. After that time, rumors began to circulate of a vanishing hitchhiker. Stories circulated of people who saw a beautiful blonde woman hitchhiking near the mid-span. When they stopped to pick her up, nothing seemed out of the ordinary but as the vehicle approached the summit of the bridge, she would begin to cry. When the driver turned to ask what was wrong they'd find themselves alone in the vehicle.

Legend of Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Gandy Bridge crossing the Tampa Bay between Saint Petersburg and Tampa, Florida (United States)

“Perhaps the bridge is just a foolish dream. But I don’t believe it. And I never will be satisfied until the bridge is built.”

George S. Gandy
