[stomatt22]

"The new bridge cost $244 million to build"

what kind of bullshit is that?

the largest bridge in the US is the "Lake Pontchartrain Causeway." in 1956 this bridge costed $30.7 million, was --23 miles long-- and was 1 lane each way. they added 1 more lane to each side for an additional $26 million and these additions were a longer in distance and still costed LESS.

yet today it costs $400 million? even accounting for inflation that's bullshit. what the fuck is wrong with you government?

@tmac9938 dude this is a suspension bridge, which costs alot more to build than just a straight, flat, and rather boring bridge. i mean yea its fucking enormous, but that just means that theres more of a chance of you running out of gas in the middle of it.

[moneybelt22]

@tmac9938 i think they could of rebuilt the old bridge stronger and dolphins piers

than build this they could of saved millions

[Fanik8]

Opened in 1987, right?

[CallmeSanti]

isnt this the bridge that can take you to keywest and all those other islands?

[failtolawl]

@CallmeSanti this is around tampa bay, not the keys.

You have no idea to my surprise when we were going back to tampa and my dad told me what happened i told him to drive faster.

[Meowmie707]

I went across that bridge one time on a Greyhound bus and the driver told us about that disaster as we crossed it... Now, I work on a boat on the Mississippi River and get nervous everytime we have to go under a bridge..

[bigal8631993]

[JKLIX11]

my dad is so afraid of that bridge

[brenodudeongc]

may i please ask why? what happened?

[Legend813a]

What you see here is the 'new' bridge.

The 'old' Sunshine Skyway Bridge was rammed by a large ship in a storm and collapsed into the water in May 1980.
