Carrying I-275 across Tampa Bay, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge has become an icon for Florida. At night, lights accentuate the golden cables of the 1,200’ cable-stayed main span. Winner of 14 design awards, the bridge set a new standard for technological innovation and aesthetics. The superstructure of the main span is a single precast segmental trapezoidal box section with a single central plane of cable stays emanating from two single pylons. Weighing up to 220 tons each, the superstructure segments are the largest ever erected for a precast segmental concrete bridge.
