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:
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality. Against the propaganda of terror and the propaganda of luxury, have you a nice simple answer?”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
