Skyway Bridge Light Display Supports Events and Causes

September 7, 2022 • Robert Neff • Facebook @robexplores • Instagram @robertexplores
The Sunshine Skyway Bridge light display has six permanent themes that rotate on
a weekly basis and themes for approved events and causes along the 1.7-mile main
span and high approach. FDOT will support a group’s theme if there is broad public
support and if the County Commissions from Manatee, Pinellas and Hillsborough pass
supportive resolutions at least 30 days in advance to the date. During the first week in
September, the Skyway Bridge was illuminated to raise awareness for two causes.

September 1, 2022
The color purple represented International Drug
Overdose Awareness Day.

September 2-5, 2022
The color teal represented support for ovarian
cancer.

Past themes include: Skyway 10K, NEDA-National Eating Disorders Association, National Donate Life
Month, Paint the Town Blue, TIFF—To Inform Families First. Red Ribbon Week, and LGS-Lennox Gastaut
Syndrome (LGS) Foundation and St. Pete Pride Week.
