TAMPA, Fla. – In a move to safeguard public safety, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge has been closed to all traffic as severe weather conditions approach the Bay Area. The decision comes amid warnings of high wind speeds and hazardous roadway conditions.

The Florida Highway Patrol has announced that Bay Area bridges, including the significant Sunshine Skyway Bridge, will be shut down when wind speeds consistently reach or exceed 45 mph. Authorities have implemented this protocol in cases where state troopers determine that traveling on the roadways poses a danger to the public.

Motorists are encouraged to heed these closures and find alternative routes to ensure their safety. Local weather services are continuously monitoring the situation, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Residents and travelers in the area are advised to remain vigilant and stay updated on the latest weather reports and traffic advisories.
