When did it extend as part of I-275? I work at AAA in Auto Travel. So we do a lot of road trip planning. Would you recommend the Skyway Bridge? I have planned routes from Clearwater to Sarasota, Ft. Myers, Naples, etc. taking the bridge. Shall I keep on doing it or go around Tampa?

I only went over the new one 3 times. I did not like it.

told him he was full of sh*#t so we went to look at the rear axle to see what had happened and at that point I had told him the driver there was no lights behind us but I could see the other side of the highway. We started to walk back which was about 1100 ft and when we got to where the bridge belonged we could not see anything until I saw a glow under my feet in front of me. If I

I'm 38 years old and I was very young when this happen when we went over the bridge I remember the bus. We passed it just before the bridge. The truck I was in felt like wind slamming into the truck . The driver knew something bad had happened because there was a big bump like we hit a speed bump only on the back wheels. The driver stopped and just as we were getting out of the truck another driver was saying on the c.b. radio that the skyway bridge was gone. The driver I was with
