Hi Yall!

Oh, I looked it up.
The original skyway bridge is nothing compared to the newer one though. I don't think it would collapse if a freighter hit it.
" The new bridge's main span is 50% wider than the old bridge. The piers of the main span and the approaches for 1/4 mile (0.4 km) in either direction are surrounded by large concrete barriers called "dolphins" that can protect the bridge piers from collisions with freighters larger than the Summit Venture."
