If your weekend travels will take you to St. Pete from Bradenton, you’ll definitely want to plan your drive around this. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge northbound lanes will be closed Sunday morning for a running event. Southbound lanes will not be impacted. The closure of those northbound lanes starts at 3:30AM Sunday morning. Lanes should reopen by 11AM.
While it’s a pain for drivers to go all the way around, the race is for a good cause. $2.6 million has been reaised for the Armed Forces Families Foundation since the Skway 10K began. You can watch the race at the Race Expo at Tropicana Field in Parking Lot 7.
