About This Database
Information is compiled by The Tampa Tribune from law enforcement reports and media accounts. It covers three different bridges: The original two-lane bridge, opened Sept. 6 1954; a parallel bridge built to increase travel lanes, opened May 19, 1971; and the existing four-lane high-rise, opened April 30, 1987, to replace the older bridge.
