Sunshine Skyway Bridge

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Top AirVuz contributor and drone pilot Bumble Bee Productions brings us this fantastic aerial view of the Florida's famous Sunshine Skyway Bridge near Tampa. The cable-stayed is the southernmost and the longest of the four bridges which span Tampa Bay. Completed in 1987, it has a total length of 6.7 km or 4.1 mi., with a longest single span of 366 meters or about 1.1k ft. The bridge replaced an earlier structure which catastrophically collapsed when struck by a cargo ship in 1980, killing 35 motorists and passengers.
