In Popular Culture
Sunshine Skyway Bridge has provided the setting for several films over the years, both credited and uncredited (e.g., Loren Cass and The Punisher (2004)).
The song "Skyway Avenue" by local band We The Kings is named in reference to the bridge.
In 2012, the United States Postal Service featured the Sunshine Skyway Bridge on a US$5.15 priority mail postage stamp. Carl T. Hermann painted it, and the digital illustration was created by artist Dan Cosgrove.
As previously mentioned, the Travel Channel rated the Sunshine Skyway #3 in its special on the "Top 10 Bridges" in the World.
The bridge is considered the "flag bridge" of Florida.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“It is clear that in a monarchy, where he who commands the exceution of the laws generally thinks himself above them, there is less need of virtue than in a popular government, where the person entrusted with the execution of the laws is sensible of his being subject to their direction.”
—Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
