The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac, and connecting the Upper and Lower peninsulas of Michigan.
Envisioned since the 1880s, the bridge was completed in 1957, only after many decades of struggle to begin construction. Designed by engineer David B. Steinman, the bridge connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south end.
It is the third longest in total suspension in the world and the longest suspension bridge between land masses in the Western Hemisphere. The Mackinac Bridge carries Interstate 75 across the straits.
