The image is actually pretty overexposed. The brightness of the seemingly white road is blinding out the ability to see the thin cables. Salguod – they’re sorta there.

Anyone else notie that the actual towers are missing from the google image? The bridge shadow seems to wipe them out. You cna see the base of the cables and the tip of one tower, but the middle segment is gone. <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&hl=en&ll=27.619054,-82.65472&spn=0.001621,0.003506" rel="nofollow">Take a look.</a> The text said longest cable stayed concrete bridge.

Pleasant, SC. The Ravenel Bridge was completed in July of 2005 (a year ahead of schedule) but the current Google images show it under construction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Ravenel_Bridge http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=29464&t=k&ll=32.80358,-79.914551&spn=0.031671,0.064631 While the Sunshine Skyway is indeed the longest total bridge, it’s cable-stayed span of 1,200 feet (between the towers) is significantly smaller than that of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge over the Cooper River between Charleston and Mt.
