Howard Frankland Bridge northbound, scheduled for removal in 2026.
I suggest using the old bridge for solar panels covering the equal to 20 football fields, YES TWENTY!! Will power a very high amount of homes (around 2000 homes) in the Tampa Bay area for years and years to come. Keep it alive, please.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many solar panels are in a square mile?
If you take our realistic base case with decently ideal terrain but proper spreading, you can fit about 1.3 million commercial solar panels in one square mile. Wow!
How much solar power can be generated per acre?
A standard large commercial solar farm will be placed on fairly ideal terrain, and will have proper angling, spacing, and space for related equipment. When you take that all into account, you can anticipate about 0.25 MW per 1 acre of land. So 10 acres of land would generate 2.5 MW. 20 acres of land would produces up to 5MW! This could vary a bit depending on your set-up however.

And I understand that the north bound side will be removed and one more time I’m screaming my head off, for the love of Mother Nature please don’t remove the old bridge, fill it up with solar panels to help set of price for the new bridge. Thousands of south facing solar panels will generate an enormous amount of electricity during a normal sunshine state day.
