Skyway Bridge Reopens After Suspicious Package and Law Enforcement Activity

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa, Florida, was temporarily closed in both directions on September 24, 2025, due to law enforcement activity related to a suspicious item left behind by an individual attempting to jump off the bridge. The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed the closure and subsequent reopening of the bridge around 12:30 p.m. after authorities used a robot to investigate the suspicious package. The bridge's north and southbound lanes were closed for approximately an hour and a half during the investigation. No specific details about the law enforcement actions or the suspect's motives were provided. The incident prompted traffic diversions at 54th Ave. S for southbound traffic and at US-41 for northbound traffic. The situation was resolved without further incident, and the bridge was reopened to traffic.
