3. Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida
While viewed as one of the prettiest scenic bridges in the United States, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida has a tragic past. Formally called the Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge, but more popularly known as the Sunshine Skyway, this bridge is actually the second bridge built, as the first bridge tragically collapsed when an oil tanker crashed into the bridge pier in 1980, which killed 35 people. The Sunshine Skyway runs 6,663 meters and connects Terra Ceia in the Lower Tampa Bay area to St. Petersburg. Aside from its tragic past, this bridge is also infamously known as a suicide spot, with more than 200 people jumping off this bridge since its construction.
