The Florida Highway Patrol has announced the closure of the massive Sunshine Skyway Bridge, which spans Tampa Bay and connects Pinellas and Manatee counties via I-275. The closure was prompted by wind speeds reaching 60 mph, posing a significant safety risk to motorists.
In a statement released on X, the FHP urged drivers to find alternative routes and advised against driving through flooded roads. They also emphasized the importance of avoiding unnecessary travel on area roadways during this time.
