Mackinac Bridge
Author: Mike Fornes
On November 1, 1957, traffic officially opened on the Mackinac Bridge. Michigan’s greatest symbol is expertly maintained, fully funded, and resilient to the many forces and factors of man and nature that have failed to seriously affect its status as the lone highway link between Michigan’s two main peninsulas. The “miracle bridge” at the Straits of Mackinac truly allows a view that epitomizes the state motto of Michigan, “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.”
