ST. PETERSBURG,Fla. – The Sunshine Skyway Bridge has fully reopened following a period of closure Wednesday afternoon due to unspecified law enforcement activity, the Florida Highway Patrol confirmed.
Traffic had been diverted earlier in the day – southbound at 54th Ave. S and northbound at US-41 – causing delays for commuters. While the FHP has not released details regarding the nature of the law enforcement operation, the bridge’s reopening restores a vital transportation link across Tampa Bay. The Skyway Bridge carries approximately 50,000 vehicles daily, connecting St. Petersburg with Manatee County and serving as a key route for both local residents and regional commerce.
the FHP provided the information regarding the bridge closure and subsequent reopening. No further details were promptly available.
