Question: Which bridge is the tallest in Florida?

Answer: The Sunshine Skyway Bridge

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is the tallest bridge in Florida and one of the longest bridges in the world. It has a vertical clearance of 190 feet above the Tampa Bay and is 430 feet tall at its highest point on the bridge towers. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is famous for being the longest cable-stayed concrete bridge in the world. It also received national attention in 1980 when a freight vessel called the Summit Venture collided with one of the bridge’s support columns, causing about 1,200 feet of the bridge to collapse, killing 35 people.
