Now ALL Of The Lights Are Out On The Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Last week we told you about repairs needed on the Sunshine Skyway. They didn’t know exactly what happened, but something caused half of the lights to go out on the bridge on the Pinellas side. Turns out it was a transformer that was damaged, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Well, 2020 being 2020, while workers were doing their thing to get all the lights back on, ALL of them went out.

Lights on the Manatee side should come back on tomorrow, according to the article. But the Pinellas LED lights may take another month. [Source: TBT]
