Caution Urged On Skyway Bridge Due To Heavy Fog, Winds: FHP

FLORIDA — Though the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is currently open to traffic, drivers are urged to use caution while crossing the span, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release.

There’s heavy fog on the bridge and winds are at 30 miles per hour, the agency said.

The four-lane cable-stayed concrete bridge with northbound and southbound lanes is part of I-275 and U.S. Highway 19. It connects Pinellas and Manatee counties. The bridge closes when there are maximum sustained winds of 40 mph or higher.
