Mackinac Bridge Opens A Record Long Suspension Span
The five mile Mackinac Bridge links Mackinac City and St. Ignace and becomes the world’s longest suspension bridge at 8 614 feet between anchorage points. Built for 100 million dollars over four years the structure rises over turbulent strait water with deep bedrock foundations and ice resistant armor. It carries a 48 foot roadway with four lanes and two long approach spans.
