What joins the upper and lower Michigan peninsulas?
The answer is the Mackinac Bridge - "The Mighty Mac" - pronounced 'mack-i-naw'The Mackinac Bridge is currently the third longest suspension bridge in the world, and the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere. Total Length of Bridge is 5 MilesThe bridge opened to traffic on November 1, 1957, for the first time ever, linking the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan at St. Ignace and Mackinaw City.The bridge spans the Straits of Mackinac, and is located on Interstate 75, 295 miles North from Detroit.The Straits connect Lake Michigan on the West to Lake Huron on the East.One of many interesting facts that can be found at http:/www.mackinacbridge.org is that: -"All suspension bridges are designed to move to accommodate wind, change in temperature, and weight. It is possible that the deck at center span could move as much as 35 feet (east or west) due to high winds." The bridge has been closed during severe weather.There is also a 'bridge cam' at http://www.mackinacbridge.org/bridge-cam-20/Warm summer dayReaching to the skyCenterline
