Bridge Feasibility and Steel Availability Discussed by Legislature
In a briefing to Charles E. Wilson, the Office of Defense Mobilization is told the Mackinac Strait Bridge project is feasible engineering and financing wise. The Bridge Authority’s final report is awaited as defense needs prompted steel availability questions, with Wilson noting steel could arrive by 1953, possibly delaying construction six months if authorized this spring. Senate Bill 2 provides 13.5 million dollars for highways with 7 million to counties and towns and 6.5 million to the State Highway Department for new construction. The Legislature celebrated the speaker’s 40th birthday with cross party congratulations and affectionate references to him as Young fella.
