Mackinac Bridge!!

Mackinac Bridge!!

One of the very interesting facts about Michigan is that it has the longest suspension bridge which connects the upper and the lower peninsulas of the state of Michigan. This bridge is called the Mackinac Bridge which is pronounced with a silent “c” at the end of the word.
This massive bridge was built in the 1880s and was formally opened on November 1st, 1957 which ended the decades of the two peninsulas connected by ferries. With a length of 3,800 feet the Mackinac Bridge is the world’s third longest suspension bridge in the United States of America and the twelfth longest in the world.
The bridge has a particular toll fee varying for every different type of automobile. There are provisions for a renovation program which costs up to $300 million and this is funded from the collection of the toll fee the year around. It takes seven years to complete the painting of the entire bridge and the moment they complete the painting they start all over again. Hence this shows that the bridge is definitely maintained well. There is also a bridge walk held here every Labor Day where the bridge opens up for people to take a walk and view its beautiful scenery. Thousands of people cross this bridge on foot who are led by the governor of the state and this definitely upholds the history and significance of this bridge making it a must-see places in Michigan.
