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.
