When the original cantilevered Sunshine Skyway Bridge, carrying I-275 (US 19), partially collapsed in 1980, due to the collision of a freighter on one of its pilings, it was replaced by the current bridges. The approaches to the old bridge, however, were left in place and converted into the longest fishing pier in the world. The most common activity on the pier is fishing. Common catches include snook, tarpon, grouper, black sea bass, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, cobia, sheepshead, red snapper and flounder. Other pier activities include kayaking, swimming, and kite surfing. Snacks, drinks, bait, and fishing supplies can be purchased on the pier, which has a fee for admission. The park is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Closing of eastern portionIn August 2008, Florida Department of Transportation officials announced that the eastern part of the pier would be closed on August 29, 2008, for safety reasons. Built in 1954, after 50 years of corrosion and wear and tear, it had worn out. The western portion, built 17 years later, were still deemed safe to use.[1] GalleryReferencesNotes1. ^{{Citation| last = Minaya| first = Mariana| title = Skyway Pier to Lose 2 Spans| newspaper = St. Petersburg Times | pages = B 1| date = August 22, 2008| url = https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/access/1537708251.html?dids=1537708251:1537708251&FMT=FT&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Aug+22%2C+2008&author=MARIANA+MINAYA&pub=St.+Petersburg+Times&edition=&startpage=B.3&desc=SKYWAY+PIER+TO+LOSE+2+SPANS| accessdate = August 23, 2008}} Sources
