Let's see...
way back when I was in the USN and lived in St. Pete, the Sunshine Skyway
Bridge was a lot higher than either of the Tampa/St Pete bridges.  It
connected St Pete with Bradenton, across Tampa Bay.
Had to be high to let those tankers and freighters under... in '78 one tried
to go through it!
