This color post card shows an aerial photo of the old Sunshine Skyway (left) and its replacement (right). The original bridge was a single span, opened in 1954. A second span running parallel to the first was opened in 1971, but partially destroyed in 1980 when it was struck by a tanker ship. The new cable-stayed bridge across Tampa Bay opened in 1987.
