Isn’t a part of it still there,next to the new one?

My mother had to drive over it a year or so ago and pulled over to the side because she started to panic. I’ve never been across it but I saw it from a distance in the video I watched.

I would be afraid to go across it,too. It’s so high up.

I think the man who just stopped short went to get his golf clubs out of the trunk!

The causeway-type approach sections of the old bridge are still there and have been turned into fishing piers.

I was impressed with how they rebuilt it. I have driven over the new Skyway several times, and it is not nearly so steep; more like a causeway. I was pleased with the design. They left quite a bit of the old bridge there, making fishing piers out of it. Before the old bridge was knocked down, I fished off the catwalks with my dad a few times.
