That's such a cool bridge! Rather pleasant way to travel in early 1984. (It was the one featured in True Lies, if I'm not mistaken)

yes. I fished off it. and it was closed then though we did travel it before the new one was opened.
 
Do you recall when the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was damaged in May of 1980? We had planned to drive across that bridge, but our plans were for the day after it was hit. Obviously, we couldn't go that route!

in tampa? uhm that was hurricane Frederick that did that and I was about seven then.
 
Tampa/St Pete .......... it was a ship that crashed into it in the early hours of the morning (well, maybe around 6 or so)...... it was storming that morning. Amongst the vehicles that fell off the bridge was a Greyhound Bus.

that was in the mid 80's and that shut down the bridge for a few years. the four storms also once again did some damage to that bridge.
 
Very true...it was deemed unstable after the 1980 crash.
 
From Wiki: "Construction of the current bridge began in 1982, and the completed bridge was dedicated on February 7, 1987. The new bridge cost $244 million to build, and was opened to traffic on April 20, 1987. It replaced an older bridge constructed in 1954, which was partly destroyed in a collision in 1980."
