ZIEGLER PUSHES BRIDGE AUTHORITY FOR STRAITS LINK
State Highway Commissioner Charles Ziegler argues for funding a feasibility bridge across the Straits to connect the two peninsulas. He says present tolls cannot cover construction or ongoing costs and favors completing a full study before any decision. A new Department ferry is being bid, with dock modernization needed on the UP side. He criticizes a proposed fair weather dock as impractical due to frequent high winds, especially during peak travel periods and holidays.
